Hansen Has Change of Fortune in One Hand

Level 13 : 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Soeren Baekgaard Hansen relayed details of an all-in pot that saw him climb to 75,000.

A player under the gun shoved for 16,500 with {k-Clubs}{7-Clubs} before Hansen re-shoved for 52,500 with {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Everyone else folded.

The {3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{10-Spades} flop gave Hansen top set and his opponent a flush draw, which he completed on the {8-Clubs} turn.

Needing the board to pair on the river, Hansen got his wish when the dealer turned over the {8-Spades}, improving him to a full house and knocking out his opponent.

"This is a once in a lifetime experience for me," Hansen said, adding that his friends back in Denmark are following along on his progress through the tournament.
