Dang Gives Hansen a Tough Decision
In a heads up pot before the flop, Trong Dang was all in from middle position and action was on Gus Hansen in the small blind. There was already around 53,000 that had been raked in, likely at the request of Hansen, and Dang's remaining chips were out in front of him.
Hansen asked how much it was to call and the dealer began to cut his stack and count it. After the dealer got to the 80,000-mark, Hansen had seen enough of Dang's ballpark figure of around 95,000 remaining and told the dealer it was fine to stop.
"Sorry guys," Hansen remarked a bit later. Around two minutes had passed and Hansen had yet to make a decision. It took almost another two minutes before Hansen decided to let go of his hand.
On the following hand, Dang chipped up a bit more after raising preflop, getting two callers, and taking the pot down eventually on the turn with a second barrel.
