Aussie Millions 2009

It has been confirmed that Gus Hansen will return to the Crown Casino in Melbourne, Australia, to compete in this year’s Aussie Millions Poker Tournament. The series will run Jan. 4-26. This year, there will be a two-day H.O.R.S.E. tournament (AUD $10,200 entry fee), a bounty-filled hold’em feature event (AUD $1,650), and the high-priced No-Limit Hold’em Challenge (AUD $100,000), which regularly attracts some of the biggest players in the game.

For those that don’t know, Gus Hansen won this tournament in 2007 and walked away with a cool ONE MILLION DOLLARS! He also wrote a book about his experience. Perhaps he will win again and we can look forward to reading another awesome Gus Hansen Book… Every Hand Revealed.. AGAIN!?! lol

We found this hilarious poker comic online and we just had to share it with you guys… who does “The Maniac” remind you of? ;)

Gus Hansesn October 2008 earnings as of today (October 20) have reached over $3.2 Million!!  That is increidble!  We all know Gus Hansen is one of the worlds top poker players, but to be causing that much terror in the big money rooms at Full Tilt Poker is simply amazing.

Last Monday night Gus won over half a million dollars at Texas Hold ‘em.  And also cashed in over $100 000 in both PLO and Omaha Hi/Lo.  Not to mention more wins in a HORSE game.  It’s really amazing to just sit back and realize how good Gus Hansen really is.  Some people say he’s the luckiest man in the world, which may be true sometimes, but he is also one of the most skilled poker players who has ever lived!

The World Poker Tour (or WPT as it is also known) is a bunch of poker tournaments that features a lot of the worlds best professional poker players. It is essentially a collection of Texas Hold ‘Em poker tournaments and the television show, which debuted in 2002, is one of the causes for the poker boom over the last 8 years.

The tournaments are open to anyone who wants to buy in, or to those who can win a spot. Here I will go through the tournaments where Gus Hansen has appeared in the final table.

Season One

The first event was called “Five Diamond World Poker Classic”. It was a 5 day event that went from May 27 2002 to June 1 2002. The total number of people who entered this event was 146. Gus Hansen actually won the 1st place prize of $556,460. The 5 runners up were John Juanda, Freddy Deeb, John Hennigan, Chris Bigler and Scotty Nguyen.

The next time Gus Hansen made it to a WPT final table was during a 4 day event which ran from February 21 2003 to February 24 2003 and was titled “LA Poker Classic”. There were 135 entries to this game and again Gus Hansen was the winner. His first place prize this time was $532,490. The 5 runners up were Daniel Rentzer, Andy Bloch, David Pham, Steven Shkolnik and Bob Stupak.

This is the second part of my complete history of Gus Hansen on the awesome NBC series “Poker After Dark”  Part one can be read by clicking here

Gus Hansens first apperance in season two was during week 2.  The original airdate was June 18 - 23 2007 and was called “International”.  Gus (representing Denmark of course) has the first seat and the other seats were filled by David Benyamine (from France), Patrik Antonius (from Finland), Daniel Negreanu (from Canada), Marco Traniello (from Italy) and finally Brad Booth (also from Canada).

Unfortunetly for Gus he was the first one eliminated.  The winner ended up being Patrik Antonius.  A neat fact is that Patrik Antonius is a member of Full Tilt Pokers team and you can actually play him online by CLICKING HERE and signing up!

The next time Poker After Dark would have Mr. Hansen as a player would be week 5 called “WPT All-Stars”.  It only makes sence to have Gus on during this week as he was one of the very first players inducted into the WPT Walk of Fame (with Doyle Bruson and James Garner).

The airdate for this week was Sept 17 to Sept 22 2007 and his oppoents were Erick Lindgren, Howard Lederer, Daniel Negreanu, Michael Mizrachi and Tuan Le.  A better showing from Gus this time around, but he ended up in 3rd place with Howard Lederer going on to win.  Hardcore Howard Lederer fans clearly know that he is also a part of Team Full Tilt and is ready to take on all challengers at FULL TILT POKER

Finally Gus Hansens 3rd and final time being on poker after dark in season two came during week 10, the final week of the season.  Airing from November 12 to November 17 and titled “Signature Week”.  The title “Signatue Week” was named so because the participants were all featured in teh shows 2007 opening credits… which is kinda neat.  The other poker players at the table were Howard Lederer again, Phil Ivey, Chris Ferguson, Phil Hellmuth and Jennifer Harman.

It is another sad story for us Gus Hansen fans I’m afraid as he had to leave the table in 5th place with Phil Ivey eventually taking all the chips home.

Stay tuned for Gus Hansens Poker After Dark History - Season Three! In the mean time, see if you can find Gus at a table at Full Tilt Poker. Even online he is fun to watch.

The day started out with 56 players but by the end only 11 were left.  That is what happened during Day 2 of the £2500 H.O.R.S.E event at the 2008 World Series of Poker Europe.  Among those eliminated was my favorite and yours, Gus Hansen.

Also eliminated today were Canadas own Daniel Negranu and almost making it to the final table but busting out in 12th place was the Poker Brat himself, Phil Hellmuth.

For those that were wondering who the final 11 are, here is the list:

Howard Lederer 208,500
Sherkhan Farnood 141,500
Yuval Bronshtein 133,500
