how could Hansen betray his fans, afterall those millions and millions of fans dumped their play money tournaments and/or $0.02 sng's on stars. i mean people were risking their money, some of them their entire bankrolls just to see their idol losing another hu match to add to his ~$20 mill already lost. just no respect, come on Gus after reading this (i'm sure he will) be a man and show up next time

at $20 millions lost this is called compulsive gambling behavior and soon he will touch his business in order to bring more money with recovery in his mind until will lose everything. suicide is coming...mark my words.

It's a shame that Gus Hansen didnt turn up because i would have really liked to see who would have come out on top in this battle. I think Viktor Blom would win and i hope they rearrange this match
Yea but we not sure why he didnt come and play the heads up game,... Maybe family circumstance's? Ore maybe he never wanna loose again,.... Sooo he quit poker
But its bad commercial for the pokerscene iff its a silly reason, why he didnt plaeyd

Drunk or something? Everybody knew the exact date well in advance so almost no excuses acceptable. Quite unfair behaviour. I hope they will play this as soon as possible. A lot of fan are now disappointed because of this and they are absolutely right.

Posted by marlin: Why do people especially Mr Suicide (ouThhiTus) above. (You need help) jump on anyone without knowing the facts ? I just don't get it
redirect (You need help) to Gus. what he did after $5 million is compulsive gambling and not much time and resources left until he will go broke. expression 'dead man walking' is accurate on him.
