Gus Hansen took to the virtual felt on Friday April 17, 2009 to play on his four $500/$1,000 tables. At the end of the night, he was down over $1.2 million after Di “Urindanger” Dang and David “MR B 2 U SON” Benyamine collected the bulk of Hansen’s bankroll.
Dang came away with about $750k against the Great Dane while Benyamine, a former Full Tilt Poker pro, earned nearly $650,000 off of his friend online.
In one hand, Benyamine raised the button $3,000. Hansen called from the small blind. Hansen then check-called a $5,000 bet from Benyamine with a Q
,10
,2 flop. Afterwards, Hansen check-raised a $16,000 bet on the turn to $64,000 when a 4 came down. Benyamine then three-bet to $208k, forcing Hansen all-in, which he did.
He called and showed a set of deuces. Unfortunately, Benyamine had triple queens. The river gave the Frenchman a full house, queens over tens.
