Some players have had a great start this year, some not so good start. But then there are also players like Gus Hansen that have lost a lot of money in just a few weeks, but still is up over $1.5 million dollars. Another notable player is Tom "Durrrr" Dwan that had a great 2008 and a not so good 2009 with a small minus of $500,000.

Guy is. But it looks as he has stopped playing. (At least online)
Gus style is superswingy.
Yes Guy used to be the biggest fish but he hasnt played in like 6 months. All the high stakes regulars say Gus is the fish and the reason the games are going.
I thing when Gus hansen is very good Tournament player but in High stakes (full tilt etc.) he is very bad in this year... Sharks waiting to his table a few hours for stack him (sorry for english)
I agree Gus is fishy and super swingy. But because of these massive swings, he is still up 1.5 mill! Swings like that would likely give me a heart attack! haha.
