Hansen Off to a Good Start with Early Double

Level 8 : 400/800, 100 ante

Gus Hansen didn't register until the start of play, which meant he started with 30,000 in chips. He's now got more than double that.

He got it when he opened for 2,000 under the gun and then called a three-bet to 5,300 by Tyler Cornell in middle position. Hansen then check-called a bet of 6,500 on the {10-Spades}{4-Spades}{7-Spades} flop, the {2-Clubs} turned, and the "Great Dane" checked. Cornell moved all in and Hansen wasted little time in calling off his remaining 22,800.

Hansen: {2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}
Cornell: {q-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}

The railbirds were shocked and excited to see that Hansen had turned a set to crack Cornell's queens. The {7-Clubs} river was of no consequence, and Hansen shipped the early double while Cornell's nightmarish start to Day 2 continued.
