After a few weeks of silence, the Danish poker pro Gus Hansen once again updated his blog with some pretty interesting news. Hansen writes, for example, that he has arrived in Hong Kong and that he and a Danish friend will go to Macau and check whether or not the rumored high stakes games are as crazy as some people claim they are.
In Macau, Hansen hopes to meet some of his old buddies from Full[...] Read more » Gus Hansen on his way to Macau

I'm sure even if Gus doesn't play some of the nosebleeds, he'll get in on some NLH200/500/1000 action . . . but I expect peer pressure to provoke the Great Dane to at least "sample" some of the highest limits they have running.

attack of the pros! there is a less chance of Gus playing with his former full tilt pros i guess, unless there is a big number of macau high stake players playing on that table..

All this guys are completely nuts. Look at this lifes! Going to Macau expecting to find friends from the “hometown job” and keep enjoying this trip with them. We all heard rumors about the extraordinary amounts this games involve in Macau, but they all end up being classified just as rumors, with no one to confirm if they are real. Maybe Gus can be telling us a little more in a few days. Hope he wins big, I like the way he plays.

Always great to watch Gus Hansen play, but man that's a lot of cash to play the High Stake games. It's not that Guis don't have the capability to win in these games, but I think he'd rather use someone else's $$ to play in them. So like KoldShadow stated, he'll probably start out at the 200/300/500 level and see how it goes. If he wins enough to get in the big boy poker games he'll be playing, butr like I said, with someone else's $$,

I really admire Gus Hansen, in my opinion one of the most complete players I've ever seen in my life, it really seems like it will be interesting with such high stakes player quality.
