Magnus Hansen Doubles Through Tim Vance

Magnus Hansen
Magnus Hansen
Tim Vance raised to 33,000, and got three callers in Nicolas Dervaux, Magnus Hansen, and Rasmus Nielsen. The flop was {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Spades}. The action was checked back to Vance, who stood up, rubbing his hands together, before announcing a bet of 133,000. Dervaux folded, Hansen moved all in for 274,000, Nielsen folded, and Vance went back into his pacing and talking act, wondering aloud what his opponent had.

"You have a set of fours, sir? You have aces or kings? Ace-ten?" and then called.

Vance {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

The turn was the {9-Diamonds}, the river was the {8-Spades} and Hansen doubled through Vance with his set of tens, increasing his stack to 810,000. Vance was left with just short of a million.

"Nice hand. Very nice hand, beautiful hand," said Vance.

IT student Magnus currently earns around 4,000 Danish kroner a month (about €500) so whatever he wins today is going to make a difference to his life. He’s certainly planning to buy a car if he wins, but he’s also considering turning pro at the end of his studies. His biggest result to date was qualifying for Copenhagen and he normally plays $100 NLHE cash games. Besides poker, Magnus is also a keen Counterstrike player and is a member of one of the top 20 teams in the world.
