The danish poker pro Gus Hansen has been running extremely bad in the past couple of years. In the beginning of this year, however, he started off in the best possible way by winning a few hundred thousands and it almost seemed like he was going on a winning streak and would take back some of the money he lost.

this guy Gus Hansen has interest in MANY companies and hes even actioneer of FT i think , losing that money is not a problem for him, i think the worst is how hes looking like in medias and for fans who love him. Hes simply addicted, and being adicted means he has no more control on himself (so on his play), not necessary a financial problem but... a personal en public problem.

Maybe, but doesn't matter how many companies he has interest in. His finances are still finite. He can certainly create a problem (Serious/financial) for himself beyond a PR problem if he continues to drop large amounts of money.

Gus is still in business. And he was able to cut his losses to just under 8 million. If he can continue this run, he will be back in black in half a years time.
this is not good news for full tilt either, like the poker school at full tilt all the players hearing that 1 of the pros has gone busto, so what chance have they got learning at full tilt...........
