Player Bios: Gus Hansen

The Great Dane
The Great Dane
"The Great Dane" is an animal on the felt, relentlessly aggressive and often unpredictable.

Gus has won over $5 million dollars on the tournament trail, largely due to his success on the World Poker Tour, where he has captured three titles. Most recently, Gus took down the 2007 Aussie Millions, besting Jimmy "gobboboy" Fricke in an exciting heads-up contest.

Gus has his hands full this afternoon with fellow Team FullTilt member Phil Ivey. Here's a look at "Gambling Gus'" journey to the final eight:

Round of 64: def. Don Cheadle

Round of 32: def. Scotty Nguyen

Round of 16: def. Phil Laak
