Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only player to make it to the final poker 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 recall one of the biggest pots in high stakes poker history against Daniel Negreanu.

Gus can be found wagering on web poker on Full Tilt. He usually participates in big stakes omaha hold’em and hold’em. Gus Hansen has proven himself as a competition player.
