Gus Hansen Wins 300K Pot

After both Gus Hansen and Ayaz Mahmood limped in from late position, Paul Spitzberg made it 80,000 to go from the big blind; both Hansen and Mahmood called.

The flop came {Q-Clubs}

and Spitzberg led out with a 97,000 bet; Gus called and Ayaz got out of the way.

Both remaining players knuckled the table when the {7-Spades}

came on the turn. A third seven fell on the river and Spitzberg checked to Gus, who fired out a 124,000 bet. Spitzberg reluctantly made the call, revealing A-K, and Gus would end up raking the pot with a full house (sevens full of tens), to the sound of thunderous applause from the gallery.

After the hand, Gus stacked up just under a million in chips.
