Even though the end of last week's high stakes games fell into the shadows of the news that F.B.I. closed down PokerStars, Full Tilt and Absolute Poker in the US, there were still some quite interesting high stake games running at Full Tilt Poker and PokerStars.
Gus Hansen, the Danish Full Tilt Pro, is one of the players we could thank that for! Even though it must have been a very stressful week[...] Read more » High Stakes: Hansen dominated last week

Gus Hansen won almost four times more than Daniel Crates, who's ranked in second place in the winning ranking! And the news says he was able to keep fresh head although he has a part in Full Tilt and with all that investigation starting! I think this could also have worked has an incentive for him to show players have nothing to worry about and that the problem is not with the real users of the online poker room or with normal players, but with someone who uses the machine to pass money from hand to hand without paying fees.

I'm sure Phil Ivey, Howard Lederer, Chris Ferguson, Andy Bloch, Phil Gordon and Jennifer Hartman own a part of full tilt poker but i didn't knew Gus Hansen is one of the owners too. I'm 100% sure that Patrik Antonius and Tow Dwan are just sponsored by full tilt poker and not owners. As you all know full tilt poker was the biggest loser of the black friday in US, so that must have heard for all these pro players. In addition to that they can't even play on their site anymore... Also yesterday and today Gus Hansen won a lot of money, the biggest loser these two days was gavz101, a player from London, UK that lost almost $ 500.000 these two days on full tilt poker on the high stakes cash pot limit omaha tables. It seems Gus it's a PLO expert now

Well Gus is a very good poker pro, especially in Pot limit omaha games, that is his specialty. I foresee that he will the $10 million this year profit for sure.

nice win for him during the week considering all the trouble happening with the top poker sites. as for zigmund he just cant get to winning ways, maybe he shud take a break from poker .
Gus Hansen rules the tables atm, no doubt about that
