Hansen's First Button Raise Overpowered By All-In Move

Level 8 : 30,000/60,000, 0 ante

Trying to rebound from the dispiriting chop on the last hand, Hansen raised for the first time holding the button, making it 56,000 to go. Cody would not oblige, however, and shoved enough chips into the middle to force Hansen all-in.

The power play worked and Hansen mucked his hand, causing the British-heavy audience to shout and scream in support of Cody.
