Web High Stakes Poker- Gus Hansen

Gus Hansen had an amazing year on the WPT where he was the only gambler to achieve last table in 3 of the events. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he bought into the game for $400, 000.

Hansen has earned many tv poker appearances and is deemed to be one of the best bettors anywhere in the world. While competing in internet poker, another side of Hansen has appeared. He often competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy in of $40, 000. Gus frequently buys-in for the minimum of Sixteen Thousand dollars and gambles very weak.

He usually plays in high stakes Omaha and Holdem. Gus has shown himself as a tournament player. Can he use his abilities in cash rounds?
