Sick Call

Gus Hansen made a raise from late position and found a caller in the shape of the big blind before the flop came down {6-Clubs} {8-Diamonds} {4-Spades}.

Gus continued his aggression with a 650 bet once it was checked to him and the big blind player called so the dealer brought the {Q-Hearts} on the turn.

They both checked so we headed straight to the river {7-Hearts}. The big blind then surprised everybody by moving all in for 16,975, a massive over bet.

Hansen went into the tank, contorting his face as he worked through whether or not to call. "I'm just so curious, can I forgive myself for folding?" commentated Hansen.

He continued with "I wish he you had a little less," and then made the call. His opponent showed {9-Clubs} {9-Spades} for just a pair of nines, but the pot and the applause went to Hansen as he tabled the winning {A-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} for a pair of queens.

Hansen soaring now on 62,000.
