Gus Hansen has been involved in some crazy high stakes action in Macau lately. This time he went up against 'durrrr - and it didn't end well!
Danish poker icon Gus Hansen is really at it at the tables in Macau. The action is crazy and sick sums of money are changing hands every hour.
The Great Dane ran into trouble when he went up against Tom 'durrrr' Dwan - and Lady Luck wasn't on his side this time around.
Here is a fresh recap from Gus Hansen who is texting us directly from the high stakes tables at the Starworld Casino in Macau, China:
"Drawing dead against Durrrr again :-( I hope this is not gonna be my new theme song, because then I will be hitting the rails within a very short time".
"6 handed game I raise and Durrrr reraises. I call and flop comes:
Ad8d5c
not exactly the worst when you are holding:
3d4d
I check and Durrrr bets HKD$500,000 into HKD$900,000 - I make it HKD1.5 million planning to call if Durrrr moves all in or bet his remaining HKD$3,000,000 on the turn if he just calls".
"He calls and now I am dreaming of a 2, hoping for a diamond and firing anyways if I miss".
Ac
comes and I hesitate for a second as it looks like just about the worst card in the deck. I could have slowed down but instead I follow my carefully laid out plan and ship it". HKD3,000,000 insta called by Durrrrs set of 8's and I am in limbo again".
"No draw, no hope and I am not exactly winning for the day :-("
