Hansen Trying New Things

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Gus Hansen is trying a couple new things today. Like playing poker, and reading the bible, and Racketlon.

We haven't seen The Great Dane play a serious live tournament since the summer, and it's certainly his first EPT of the season. From what we understand, his poker hiatus is mostly because of Racketlon. If you're not familiar with the Scandinavian sport, don't be embarrassed. It's a four-discipline game that combines table tennis, badminton, squash, and tennis -- a quadrathalon of sorts. Hansen was a junior tennis champ back in the day, and he says he's been training for several hours a day as he pursues the title of Racketlon World Champion.

Also of note is the fact that Hansen has brought a black hardbound Holy Bible with him today, and he's currently thumbing through the Gospels. Not sure what else to say about that.
