The Bank of Hansen

Gus Hansen is being a nice tablemate and giving out double-ups to his fellow competitors, if they're nice.

The first recipient was Peter Costa. Hansen had raised on the turn and Costa had called. The river was dealt, giving us {8-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Spades} {10-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}. Hansen led out for 5,000 and Costa called with {7-Hearts} {9-Hearts} for the straight. Hansen mucked, saying he had a pair.

Costa up to 32,000 as a result.


Hansen then doubled up another player after getting it all in preflop with {K-Spades} {Q-Spades} versus an opponent's {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}. The case king fell on the river, confirming the pot was heading away from the Dane.

Hansen now on 110,000.
