Gus Hansen ($36,799) played against Brian Hastings ($416,937.50) in a $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi game at Full Tilt.com. They played at Acred a (deep 6) table with sunra18 sitting at the table but sitting out during the game so it was heads up until the last couple hands when Urindanger sat down.

The largest hand that I watched was a hand where Gus Hansen raised pre-flop to $1200 and was called by Hastings. The flop was [5h 2s Qc] and Brian Hastings checked while Gus Hansen bet $2000….After a bit of thinking Hastings came back with a raise to $7,600 and after a couple seconds of thought Gus Hansen re-raised it to $25,200…It didn’t take long before Brian Hastings shoved his entire stack raising it to $78,000 and was called by Gus Hansen who at that point put in his last $27,993.50. At this point Brain Hastings showed two pair with [2h 3c 5d 4c] while Gus Hansen showed [9s Ad Qh Qd] and had a set of queens. The turn was a jh and the river a 7h no help to Brian Hastings and Gus Hansen won the $108,786.50 pot.

Another of the larger hands was another win for Gus Hansen when he won with a king high flush against Brian Hastings two pair (aces and sixes). Most of the money in the pot went in after the river card when Gus Hansen already made his flush. Gus Hansen initially bet $4,800 after the river and was then raised by Hastings to $27,200 which Gus Hansen called and took down the pot worth $69,599.50.

It was a pretty one sided table with lots of chips shifting to Gus Hansen. At the end of about 50 hands when the table broke up the chip count was:

• Gus Hansen ($140,182)
• Brian Hastings ($329,935)

Mike Matusow did quite well in the game including a hand where they both called the big blind pre-flop. After the flop Matusow bet $300 which was called by sirens. On the turn Matusow checked and this time sirens bet $600 and Matusow then re-raised to $1,200 which Sirens called. Matusow bet $600 on the river which was called by Sirens. On the showdown Matusow showed an Ace high straight taking down the pot worth $4,779.50.

A few hands later was another top hand where after the hole cards Sirens raised to $600 which Matusow called. On the flop Matusow bet $300 and was called. The turn Matusow bet $600 and was then quickly raised to $1200 which he called. On the river Matusow $600 bet one more time and was called by Sirens. The river came and Matusow showed another straight but this time a king high straight and won the pot worth $5,399.50.
