Early Double for Hansen
Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen paid his €100,000 entry fee and sat down with 40 big blinds. On the third hand his table had played he opened under-the-gun for 16,000. PokerStars Team Online player Isaac Haxton was in the Hijack and he stared Hansen down for a while before making it 44,000. The other players folded and Hansen bounced around in his seat before making the call.
The flop was 
. Hansen spread his chips on the felt in front of him and picked out a bet of 46,000. Haxton went in the tank and took a couple of minutes to make his decision, When he reached it he announced, “All in.”
Hansen put his chips across the line to call.
Haxton tabled 
but Hanen had out flopped him with a 
straight.
“I think it’s nice.” said Hansen and it remained nice as turn 
river 
put a dent in Haxton’s stack and doubled up the great Dane.
