Let It Go, Gus

Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen was recently moved into the Blue section of the Amazon Room near a television showing reruns of poker broadcasts. As he watched, the television replayed a hand involving Hansen, in the small blind, and the big blind. Both flopped trip aces, but Hansen's {A-?} {2-?} was badly out-kicked by his opponent's {A-?} {Q-?}.

Hansen turned to one of our field reporters and started analyzing the hand with him. "I just couldn't put him on a bigger ace," Hansen told our field reporter. "I donked off over a million chips. I hope I don't do that this year."
