The Gus Bus Keeps Rolling

Gus Hansen just added another 90,000 to his stack with the elimination of Fabrice Messina.

We walked up on the hand as Gus was considering to call a ~50,000 all-in re-raise from Messina; there was approximately 100,000 already in the pot.

"Pretty sure I'm calling," said Gus. "I just want to think for a second."

Apparently annoyed that he was priced in to call, Gus mumbled something or other in another language and slung the chips required to make the call across the betting line.

Gus was pleased to find out that he was slightly ahead in the hand, with pocket sevens against Messina's {A-Clubs} {J-Clubs}.

The flop came {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {3-Clubs} and Gus commented, "That's an exciting flop."

The {7-Diamonds} then fell on the turn and drew collective "Ooh's" and "Aww's" from the peanut gallery.

The river brought an inconsequential {A-Diamonds}, sealing Gus' win and the crowd gave Messina a round of applause as he exited the tournament area.
