Hansen in the Shove Zone

Gus Hansen has fallen below 10,000, but that was still enough to get William Thorson to pause for thought. Thorson raised to 1,600, faced the shove of the Great Dane, and went quiet for a minute.

"I avoided the snap call - that's always nice," commented a relaxed Hansen.

"I think you have the best hand...but," Thorson said.

"If I win this I should feel lucky, but if I get to go home then I'm kind of lucky too."

Thorson passed, but was still debating whether his hand against Hansen could have been good.

Andy Bloch jumped in with, "Gus probably would have called himself," which is in the running for Quote of the Day.
