Hansen, Late to Set, Among First to Win

Greg Raymer - busto

Gus Hansen showed up to the set late enough that he missed the Diamonds Bracket group photo. But that didn't stop him from taking down Greg Raymer as the second match to end in this group. Gus check-raised the shorter-stacked Raymer all in on a flop of {K-?} {Q-?} {6-?}. Raymer called with an up-and-down straight draw, {J-Hearts} {10-Diamonds}, and discovered he had additional outs against Hansen's {6-Spades} {3-Clubs}, bottom pair. Hansen turned two pair by catching a {3-?}, leaving Raymer drawing only at a straight. He missed it with the river {7-?}.

Hansen comes back tomorrow while Raymer's 2010 Heads-Up tourney ends in the Round of 64.
