Andy beal demands game of 100,000-200,000 and just gets done destroying chip reese for 8 million dollars in the morning session. He then beats on Hamid Damistachi who's downing corona after corona with all the pros watching their bankroll becoming steadily depleted. Now they're looking for another player...Gus goes, "I think I'm ready. Put me in. If I lose 2 million that's it I'm done."

He loses 2 million and quits.

YEAH GUS YEAH!!

After I read that part of Gus I could not stop laughing. You don't picture Gus being scared..especially with his hyper aggro style in NLH tourneys, but just hilarious how he set himself a limit of his losses and then proceeded to bluff off that amount and quit.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

I noticed this a while ago:
http://cardplayer.com/chat/

There was also a chat with Doyle somewhere, probably ESPN, where he says that Gus had gone broke, but has made a nice recovery.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

It was the EPT Barcelona event last week.
Not exactly $2-million...but still not too shabby.

5. Gus Hansen Denmark €78,000

did this happen? link?

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

yea i remember reading that when i sifted through the book.

i think it's rather naive to give Gus hell for that, given the variance of HU holdem and the fact that 2 million is a scant 10BB in the 100k-200k game.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

Despite the fact that's a ridiculous amount of money, it's 10 bbs in a HU match, nothin bwoy.

Yo that's not what i said. I'm not giving him crap about anything. I found it humorous he set himself a limit of 2 million, for a 100k-200k game. And then when he proceeded to lose that much over one hand..it's like OK i'm OUT. Jen get back in here. It's kinda like when you see your newbie friend play..sit in the 2/4 game at the Trop with 20 bucks and pretty much lose it all.

i'm pretty sure it's not the same thing.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

He might not be 'broke' but he could be in deep debt for all we know and got staked.

I've seen him playing 4 tables of 100/200 actually....but just because I saw him playing biggish money online doesn't mean he's doing great.
Of course, it doesn't mean he ISN'T doing great either.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

He was on national TV in Denmark last night explaining some basic stuff about poker and a little about himself.

He is going to play the Danish championship this weekend.

On a more serious note, I wonder if Gus was able to take any of Jordan Berkowitz"s winnings the other day on Stars. Anybody hear how it turned out?

Watching him play 100-200 is sort of sad though, considering 6 months ago he was playing 4k-8k. That's like me going bust and moving down to .5-.10. I would cry.

not really, he doesn't get the chance to play 4K-8K in Monaco, so he plays at the stakes he can play at. THe 4K-8K game isn't spread every night of the week either. Players like him and Carlos Mortensen play as much as possible when they're in the US on their 90 day travlers visa, and then they probably play a lot in europe now that it has gotten much bigger there

4-tabling online 100/200 is equivalent in blinds per hour to 800/1600 live. Plus some of these were short handed.

Rumor has it he was losing 4K/8K. He seemed to be cleaning up in the 100/200.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

He's currently soliciting a nice suit to borrow from Chip Reese so he can look spiffy when he solicits a stake from Ellix Powers.

Re: Any news on Gus ?
 

Gus was getting his clock cleaned regularly in the Big Game. He has gone broke a couple of times as a result. Maybe he has come to the realization that there are but a handful of players in the world who can beat that game and he isn't one of them.
