Gus Hansen Likes Sick Puppies

The Great Dane
The Great Dane
Gus Hansen raised from the button. The small blind called and the big blind moved all in for 46,000. Hansen went into the tank for a few minutes. ESPN cameras swarmed around his table as the Great Dane counted out 46,000 in chips. He took a few deep breaths before he tossed his chips into the pot. The small blind folded.

"I have a small pair," said Hansen as he tabled his cards

Hansen: {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}
Opponent: {A-Diamonds}{J-Spades}

"You're one sick puppy," said Hansen's opponent.

The flop was {K-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Hansen still led. The turn was the {6-Hearts}. The river was the {2-Diamonds}. Hansens pair of deuces held up as his opponent headed to the rail.

Hansen increased his stack to 165,000 after that hand. In the last ten minutes, he has busted two players.
