Great Dane Takes a Big Hit

Level 10 : 2,000/4,000, 0 ante

When we caught up with the action the board read {5-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and Gregory Brooks made a pot-sized bet of 24,400. Gus Hansen went deep into the tank and mentally reviewed the action for at least five full minutes, appearing to talk himself in and out of calling. The famously loose Hansen finally came to a decision and slowly rolled five 5k chips into the middle. Brooks quickly tabled the {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a turned flush and scooped a pot of nearly 75,000 chips.
