Gus Hansen Cleans Up His Mess, But Pays The Price

Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen
Gus Hansen enters the pot from late position, and the small blind moves all in for about 9,800. There is a question as to how much he has and how much is in the pot. The dealer recreates the action with the help of another player, and they count down the pot, coming up with 9,600. Hansen notices an error, and he steps in to do it again, this time coming up with 9,800. The original player sees his error, and everyone agrees that everything is correct.

At this point, Gus Hansen says, "I guess I have to call since I made this mess." Hansen calls with {10-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and his opponent shows {A-Spades}{6-Clubs} -- Hansen figured his cards would at least be live, but he's dominated.

The board comes {8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades}, and his opponent doubles up. Hansen is down to about 180,000.
