Gus Hansen Suffers Crushing $889k Defeat on Full Tilt

[samitheman99]

Gus Hansen added another staggering loss to his seemingly endless downward spiral on Full Tilt Poker last night.
The Great Dane burned through $889,668 in 1,547 hands, according to highstakesdb.com.
Despite some positive work earlier this week Hansen is now down about $10 million since last fall and headed for one of the worst years of online poker ever recorded.
Hansen split his time between FLO8 and 2-7 Triple Draw but the highlight match was against arch-nemesis Kagome Kagome in $2,000/$4,000 2-7 TD.
Kagome Kagome Destroys Hansen for $599,000
The match took place at just one table but that was enough for German Kagome Kagome to utterly decimate Hansen for $599k.
The epic loss raises some very real questions about how much more Hansen?s bankroll can take.
Although Hansen was on an enormous heater worth more than $5 million prior to Black Friday in 2011, he?s lost that and more since FTP re-opened.
It was a bad day all around for Full Tilt Professionals as Viktor Blom dropped $113k. The major difference is that Blom is up over $3.5 million this year.

This coming from someone who will never even sniff anywhere near that type of money. Stop being a jealous ass its embarrassing.

that could be one of the stupidest statements ever made on PO, the guy is a professional high stakes poker player. im not saying for sure that he will gain it back i mean maybe this will actually be then end of his what 20 years of playing? you dont think that he will make 10mil in profit in the rest of his career? remember he his probably sponsored by fulltilt to his endorsement profits from them alone will probably cover his loses over time.

well even the pros need to be carfefull on bamkroll management or it leads to bankruptcy. I hope he recoops he's always fun to watch play

[GodzAmongKingz]

wow !you know hes having fun tho!

[wagon596]

Just depends if he gets into that playing with "Scared Money Zone" and changes his style. That could really send him to the bottom. Just my thoughts.

I don't wanna watch that. He needs a break...

The guy obviously needs to work on his table selection more. but I don't think he'll go broke, that's what bankroll management is for.

There's like 50 stakes under him, and they get donker and fishier by the level.
