Gus Hansen: 7x6x / Ax8x2x3x / 8x
Hansen was left on a severe short stack and then raised over a completion of Paul Volpe, who called. They got it in after fourth street and Volpe only then noticed that he had mis-read his hand with split deuces to mesh together the remainder of his board.
Hansen earned the double and climbed back out of immediate danger.
"Well, I stopped bleeding, it's a very important feature," the Dane said in table chat.
