Gus Hansen Heads Up Against Tom Dwan “Durrrr”

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

Gus Hansen played heads up against Durrr at Full Tilt Poker.net. When I started watching the tables there were two tables going on between them at the Hansen Hangout and Hansen Suckout.

At the Hansen Hangout I started watching when Gus Hansen had ($51,999) and durrrr with ($259,010). This soon changed as the second had I watched was worth $103,997.50. Durrrr won the hand with a king high straight against Gus Hansen’s queen high straight. Two hands later, Gus Hansen lost again with a pair of aces against Durrrr’s jack high flush and lost another all-in pot worth $97,999.50. After each of the past two hands Gus Hansen rebought and after the second defeat he bought in again for $50k. After another two hands they had a hand worth $93k which this time Gus Hansen won with a Full House against Durrrr’s nine high straight.

It didn’t take long before another huge hand was played and this time it was worth $259,595.50. Gus Hansen lost with 3 queens against Durrrr’s ace high flush. After a bunch of raising and re-raising it was Durrrr who put Gus Hansen all-in and it didn’t take long for Gus Hansen to call the enormous amount.

After about 20 more hands Gus Hansen sat out after losing a $47,194.50 pot. At that time he went broke and Tom Dwan had $484k.
