Gus Hansen Can't Hang on Any Longer

Omaha-8:

After using up all of his nine lives Gus Hansen was eliminated from the tournament. Hansen survived a bunch of all-ins and always seemed to be doubling up or on the brink, but this time he wasn't able to escape the inevitable. Hansen limped under the gun, and after Allen Cunningham called, Thor Hansen raised to 6,000. Gus and Allen called and on we went to the flop.

Which came {K-Hearts} {K-Spades} {4-Spades}. Gus bet 3,000, Allen raised and Thor reraised. Gus called for his last 5,200 and after Cunningham got out of the way Gus had a flush draw and backdoor low draw with {A-Spades} {3-Spades} {7-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} to Thor's {A-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {K-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}. The {8-Hearts} on the turn brought Gus no help nor did the {8-Clubs} on the river. Gus didn't make his flush, didn't make a low hand, and his night finally came to an end.
