Gus Hansen Eliminated

A short-stacked Gus Hansen moved all in from under the gun for his last 12,900. Action folded to Mickey Appleman in the cutoff seat and he reraised to 25,000 total. No one else came along so it was just Hansen and Appleman. Hansen drew two cards, even showing his discards which were a {7-?} and a {2-?}. Appleman stood pat and as Gus checked his hand, Appleman informed him "you're drawing slim." Hansen's face said it all. He gave a polite nod indicating he had indeed missed his miracle and Appleman tabled {8-?} {6-?} {5-?} {3-?} {2-?}. Hansen mucked and headed for the rail.
