Gus Hansen played OMGClayAiken each starting with $50k and I was there from the start. They played at the Hansen Knockout which has a reserved seat for Gus Hansen and has room for one other player. The limits at the table were $500/$1000 and the game was Omaha Hi played at FullTiltPoker.net.

I haven’t written much lately because I have been busy but also because there has been less action at the high stakes tables. This could be because of the tournaments going on right now but hopefully with the holidays over poker players will get back to grinding at the full tilt.net tables and I will have some good high stakes reporting.

The largest hand at the table had Gus Hansen raising to $3k pre-flop and OMGClayAiken raising to $9k, Gus Hansen then took some time and raised it again to $27k which OMGClayAiken then called. The flop was [As 6d Jd] and OMGClayAiken then check’d while Gus Hansen bet $18k…OMGClayAiken took time (most likely taking a deep breath) and then went all-in raising $72,699. Gus Hansen called with his last $20,497.50. At this time they both showed and OMGClayAiken had [Ks Qd 7d Qs] while Gus Hansen showed [5c Jh Ad Ah]. The turn and river were not enough help for OMGClayAiken which were 3s and 3d. Gus Hansen took down the pot with a full house (Aces full of threes) and raked the pot worth $130,995.

At this time OMGClayAiken added $64k to the table making his total $100k which would help him play against the Gus Hansen stack of $130,994.50. Though after 2 hands Gus Hansen commented “Im gonna take a little break with my first win in decades.”….seems like Gus Hansen was on a cold streak and wanted to enjoy his big hand.

When Gus Hansen left he had $129,994.50.

Happy Holidays, I haven’t been posting much because of the holidays but now that they are winding down, I will be back on the computer posting as often as possible (I try to get a couple high stakes reports every week).

This was a good table to watch as the blinds were big and the players are the table weren’t afraid to move their chips. When I first started watching a hand was already in progress and when it was finished durrrr took down a pot worth $185,792 against Ziigmund who mucked after seeing a pair of aces in durrrr’s hand.

The largest hand at the table was a monster with Patrik Antonius and Durrrr playing heads up. Antonius raised to $3500 and Durrrr re-raised to $11,000 which Antonius called. The flop came [Td 8h Jd] and Durrrr bet $16,300 who then saw a re-raise from Antonius to $71,400….after taking some time Durrrr then raised again to $236,700, Antonius thought for a bit and went all-in making Durrrr call an additional $35,926.50. At this point they both showed their hands Patrik Antonius had [8d Qd Ts 6d]
while durrrr showed [Kh Ks Ad 3d]. The turn came 7h and the river was a 6d. Durrr didn’t improve his pocket kings and Patrik Antonius took down the monster pot with two pair and won $567,750.

Even after losing that hand Durrrr still had over a million dollars on the table. After watching for about 50 hands the chip counts were:

The largest hand played at the table was between chatdisabler, jorryvtvh, TheDONKEYNO1and Gus Hansen. Pre-flop chatdisabler raised to $21,200 and right after jorryvtvh went all-in $8,481as well as THEDONKEYNO1 with $16,289 and Gus Hansen called adding another $17k to the pot.

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)

Gus Hansen ($68,599), David Benyamine ($65,896.25) and Patrik Antonius ($115,495.25) played at the Patrik Antonius $2000/$4000 table at Full Tilt.com.

After watching the table for 2 hands (I started watching well into the match) David Oppenheim sat down with $50k. It was interesting though when David Oppenheim sat down, Gus Hansen sat out, just watching the action… I don’t know if there is past history or it was just by coincidence that he sat out at the same time as Oppenheim playing at the poker table.

One of the larger hands at the table was between Patrik Antonius, David Benyamine and David Oppenheim. After the hole cards Patrik raised to $4k which was called by both David’s. The flop of [Kd Jh Ah] was dealt and Benyamine and Oppenheim checked while Patrik bet $2k which was called by Benyamine and then raised by Oppenheim. Both Patrik and Benaymine called thebet. The turn was a [8c] and Benaymine checked while Oppenheim bet $4k and at this time Patrik gave up and folded while Benyamine raised another $4k which was called. The river was another 8 this time of diamonds. Benyamine bet $4k which was called by Oppenheim, on the showdown David Benyamine shows 8s, kh for a full house and won the pot worth $47,999.

Well like clock work when Oppenheim ($16k) left the table Gus Hansen sat back in. It looks like Gus Hansen didn’t want to play against Oppenheim. Gus Hansen soon after sitting down won a large hand against Benyamine. David raised to $4k on the flop which was called by Gus. The flop of [Js Tc Kc] came down and Gus Hansen checked while Benyamine threw out $2k which was called. The turn of another king this time hearts came down and again Hansen checked Benaymine bet $4k which was then raised to $8k by Hansen. The river card was a 7 of clubs and Gus Hansen didn’t check this time, betting $4k. David Benyamine then doubled the bet to $8k which Gus Hansen decided to go another $4k to $12k which Benyamine called. Gus Hansen then showed a full house kings full of jacks and Benyamine mucked his hand.

At the end of watching about 50 hands the chip counts looked like:

• Patrik Antonius ($125,691.75)
• David Benyamine ($43,688.25)
• Gus Hansen ($114,694.50)

Phil Ivey ($263,264.90), Gus Hansen ($87,674.10), John Juanda ($149,992) and David Benyamine ($48,998) played $2000/$4000 Limit Stud H/L. This post is going to be somewhat short because I watched the tail end of the game and saw a couple big pots but didn’t see enough action to give a good report. I was able to see about 40 hands. There were points while I was watching when players would sit in and out…so even the 40 hands I watched weren’t the best.

Well after what I am sure are low hopes on your end I will start with a hand between Phil Ivey and David Benyamine. On 4th street where the betting started had Benyamine bet $2k which Ivey called. On 5th street Benaymine bet $4k and Ivey raised to $8k, which David Benyamine called. On 6th street this time Ivey bet $4k and Benyamine called. 7th street same deal with Ivey betting and David Benyamine calling. On the showdown Phil Ivey showed a full house tens full of fives and took down the pot worth $41,198.

This was really the largest hand I saw with another $32k in the PokerTilt hands. At the end of about 40 hands the chip counts were:

• David Benyamine ($28,497.75), is sitting out
• John Juanda ($149,092), is sitting out
• Gus Hansen ($149,663.35)
• Phil Ivey ($272,660.40)
