Gus has big advantage in this type of tourney, considering he is he most known in the field. Playing HU against a big figure can be frightning for the oponents, even more against aguy like this. At least, if they loose, his oponents can put in their poker curriculum that once they played HU against Gus.

Playing HU against Gus can for sure frighten the opponent ! He's really tough going atm and his HU skills are not to joke with Definitely one of the names here to take out the prize money!

hes been having a good time online and winning big but Lets see if gus can win this one, big first prize and wsop bracelet up for grabs, Nice to see tom dwan finish ninth in a wsop event.
@Davoodoo - he is also mine "A" player for this event I think he was an obvious choice for everyone participating in Fantasy WSOP for heads up tournament, if not for "A" player then at least "B"
From what I've heard Gus has played some good poker, I hope I'll find Gus-Dwan somewhere on the internet later on, it would be nice to watch their live HU.

Hmmm, I also thought that I had chosen Gus Hanson for my A team. But yesterday I had a look on the promo site and couldn´t find my choosen players for this event. Don´t know if I made something wrong with this, because its my first time participation in that.

Update: 4 left - Gus Hansen, Eric Froelich, Jake Cody & Yevgeniy Timoshenko
Gus V Jake - Eric V Yevgeniy
My bet is Gus V Eric in final - hope so have both of them in my A tean on FTP. Gus has been running good on FTP heads-up games and I believe he will follow this through.
