A Hand & Counts from Table 359

Level 9

Stud 8

Gus Hansen: {x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{k-Spades} / {x-}
Brandon Cantu: {x-}{x-} / {a-Spades}{10-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{j-Hearts} / {x-}

It seems Brandon Cantu has Gus Hansen's number today. Earlier he found a fortunate turn card to double through "The Great Dane," and now he's taken another pot of Hansen.

We picked up action on fifth street when Cantu check-called a bet from Hansen. Both players then checked sixth and seventh and Hansen picked up his cards to muck. He waited for Cantu to show {a-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} for a pair of aces and then chucked his cards to the dealer.

Hansen, who late registered at the start of the day, is down to just 9,000 and in need of some major help if he hopes to survive Day 2.
