Bigger Mistake: Phillips or Hansen?

Gus Hansen has been touted as a great tournament player. Even Sklansky has been up here touting his abilities. Why would a great tournament player risk his very good chance of winning the tournament on at best a toss up so early in the competition

Paul and Dewey aren't exactly internet qualifiers. If Gus has any skill advantage, it isn't gonna be so great that he can pass up chances to double through against someone who is capable of making that play with such a wide range of hands, given the situation.

Gus doesn't strike me as someone who cares that much about waiting out Dewey for 2nd. And considering how well Dewey has played short stacks in the past, that isn't a given either.

I'm sure Paul would be thrilled if everyone laid down everything but JJ or better to his raises.
