Gus Hansen
Sorry ladies (and probably even a few men); Gus Hansen has been eliminated from the main event.
Hansen was knocked down to 50,000 in chips after getting it all in with pocket nines against an opponent's on an board. Gus' opponent turned a jack to steal the pot, leaving him short stacked.
A few hands later, he got it all in holding from the small blind and Tyron Krost woke up to pocket nines in the big.
The ensuing board ran out and Krost's nines held up to send the Team Full Tilter home in 23rd place.
