Gus Hansen had a great start in the beginning of the year with over 3 million dollars won. But then everything took a big turn in June and he lost all his winnings. Since then Gus has kept on losing big both online and live. For example: In September he lost $950,000 at Full Tilt poker, and thanks to that he grabs the (not so nice) first place in the list over September's biggest losers.

Posted by SuperNoob: I think it would really do him a good if Gus takes a break from high stakes, he's already lost so much. wonder what his bankroll might be
Yeah he def got some hard blows at FTP's high stakes but I think FTP high stake is just a small part of his income/loss. He's playing some sick private live cash games...poker, backgammon, china poker and sports for that sake. Besides he's most likely involved in some business too atleast a ton of commercials,

Tom Dwan also lost a big amount of money. Would be nice to know who were the biggest winners in September and to see if there are a couples of famous pro there.
Don't think he will have problems... Players like him prorbably can lose more and more, it's like playing with funny money for a newbie. Not to talk about sponsorships and media

It is no surprise to me that gus hansen is in the first place of this list! He is a very aggressive player. So he can only win a lot of money or lose a lot of money. There is no balance between this two things! And now unfortunately to him he is losing!
Posted by Acmesat: Don't forget that these guys are sponsored and that means they are given money to play with.
----------- That would be great, couldn't imagine someone giving me X amount and just letting me donk it away. Unless someone was at the other side of the table I knew and we were splitting it up later....
