Gus Hansen experienced an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the last table in 3 of the competitions. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on The Game Show Network where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the largest pots in big stakes poker recorded history up against Daniel Negreanu. He secured a massive pot with quads against Negreanu's full house. Gus has earned many tv poker appearances and is considered to be one of the greatest enthusiasts anywhere in the world. While playing online poker, a different side of Hansen has emerged. He regularly competes in the 200/400 NL maximum buy-in of $40, 000. Gus more often than not buys in for the minimum of $16, 000 and plays very poorly.

Gus can be found competing in web poker on Full Tilt. He commonly competes in big stakes omaha hi-low and texas hold'em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a tournament player.
