Gus Hansen is one sick shark(credit: Wikipedia)
You know the drill. The sharks are supposed to pick on the guppies at the poker tables. Big fish like Gus Hansen, Steve Sung and Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies certainly understand this rule. This past weekend at the high stakes Pot Limit Omaha table called Pantheon, took LoLiNa and howisitfeellike on quite a ride.
In one pot, Hansen left them screeching four letter profanities while he counted six figures worth of chips.
