From under the gun, Jeff Lisandro raised to 24,000. Gus Hansen was in the cutoff seat and three-bet to 62,000. Play then folded back to Lisandro. He gave it some thought and then announced that he was all in.
As soon as he announced all in, Hansen reached across the table and took 62,000 out of Lisandro's stack and instructed the dealer to first pull in the three-bet amount. Hansen then started breaking down Lisandro's stack, not the dealer. Hansen broke down the big chips and deemed them, "Two-hundred and forty thousand and then that," pointing to the extra T1,000 chips stacked behind that he didn't break down. "And what are those? Another thirty-seven thousand?"
The dealer then broke down the T1,000 chips and totaled them to be 41,000, making Lisandro's all-in shove for 343,000 when you include the three-bet amount. Hansen needed to call 281,000 more.
He mulled it over for awhile and then made the comment, "Well, [David] Oppenheim is out so I guess that makes the call easier." He also started mumbling while thinking, "Well, if he has that, I don't want to call. If he has that I don't want to call. If he has aces, I definitely don't want to call." He then counted down his own stack a couple of times.
In the end, Hansen tossed the chips in with the comment, "Ahhh, what the heck."
Lisandro immediately turned over the and Hansen turned up the saying, "I have one overcard." His other card was the .
The flop, turn and river ran out and Lisandro's kings held. He won the hand and doubled up to over 700,000. Hansen slipped below 500,000.
