Gus Hansen’s recent profitable sessions online at Full Tilt Poker took a big downswing late last week when he faced Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond and Di “Urindanger” Dang. At one point, Hansen even hinted that perhaps the duo were ‘cheating’.
They were playing at Hansen’s Blender, a $500/$1,000 Pot Limit Omaha ring game. Erik Seidel, Phil Ivey and Tom “durrrr” Dwan were also in attendance at this full table. Hansen got suspicious after this hand…
Gus bet $3,500 preflop with J
,9
,8,7
. Dang called with Q,Q,8,8
, and Galfdond reraised with $18,000 on a hand of A,A,K,7. Hansen called. Urindanger pushed back for $48,144. OMGClayAiken went over the top with $167,432. Hansen went all-in.
The board came down, K,7,4,5,2. OMGClayAiken scooped the pot.
Hansen, who appeared to be on tilt, then mentioned that the play was “too suspicious”. Phil Ivey jokingly hinted that it was “definitely collusion.” Urindanger countered and Hansen said he was ready “to quit.” At that point, Ivey offered to “transfer 85k” to Hansen as a “gift.”
