Between 10 a.m. EDT Friday and 10 a.m. EDT on Saturday, Gus Hansen won the dream figure of $ 1.82 million mainly playing heads-up at $ 500/1000 of pot-limit Omaha. Playing on up to four tables simultaneously, Hansen has drawn most of its profits by two players: $ 890’000 Tom “durrrr” Dwan and $ 735’000 Di “Urindanger” Dang. Among others who wanted to experiment with Hansen paying dearly for the chance, there were David “MR B 2 U SON” Benyamine, Patrik Antonius, Hac “trex313″ Dang and Sami “LarsLuzak” Kelopuro. After losing more than $ 1.2 million on Full Tilt last Friday night, Hansen seems to have returned more willing than ever to recover the money this week playing the whole 13’700 hands in 132 sessions over the past seven days.
In one of the richest dishes of the night was fortunate enough to make the point to turn nuts seeing strong boost from Dwan. Hansen opened the betting with a raise to $ 3,000 who sat Dwan called from the big blind. The flop dato.Dwan opened the betting playing $ 4,800 and Hansen was limited to call. The turn gave Dwan and aimed again, this time $ 12.200 and Hansen called. The river gave and Dwan decided to check the freedom of leaving it to Hansen bet $ 31,000. Dwan then unsheathed a check-raise to $ 133,000 and Hansen was more than happy to call with his last $ 59’975 for discovering the best scale. Dwan had made only two pairs con.Il Great Dane has so drawn to whether a flat $ 222’000.
Dwan, who has now recovered about $ 4 million lost this year, has spent most of last week to play live at Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio. After the last 24 hours of online play, however, is again close to a negative one million dollars. Not too much for the standard “durrrr”, but that figure would dwarf most of us mortals.
Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies meanwhile, has clocked a profit of $ 365’000 last weekend. While many of his peers were engaged in live tournaments in Las Vegas or San Remo, “Ziigmund” has been busy announcing online, Wednesday, winning $ 365’000 for a couple sessions of heads-up against Patrik Antonius and Gus Hansen.
