Cheadle Cops a Bad Beat; Hansen Advances

Don Cheadle
Don Cheadle
Actor and poker player Don Cheadle did all he could do, getting his money in before the flop with the best hand (pocket jacks) against Gus Hansen's {K-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}, but an unfortunate king in the door sent the Academy Award Nominee to the rail.

Hansen's win sets up a round 2 match-up against fan favorite Scotty Nguyen.
