Gus Hansen ($21,400), David Benyamine ($17,094) and  Patrik Antonius ($35,419) played $1000/$2000 HORSE at the ELK (6 max) table at FullTiltPoker.net.

With three players at the table the action was flying. There was lots of pre-flop betting and some large 3 way pots. One of the hands that was interesting was a Limit Stud H/L hand that was constantly raised then re-raised until the pot ended up being $57,600.  It was 3 way action but was a two way split with Benyamine winning the Low with a pair of 8’s while Patrik Antonius took the high with a flush. This meant that both players basically split Gus Hansens  (he mucked at the end) chips.

Well I wasn’t able to watch for too long because 45 hands after sitting down to watch Hansen and Antonius sat out. At that point the chip counts were:

David Benyamine ($32,682)
Patrik Antonius ($61,212)
Gus Hansen ($0), is sitting out

Gus Hansen ($16,838.25) played $1000/$2000 HORSE against SteveSung ($50,479.75), Brian Hastings ($86,200), David Benyamine ($65,379.50), Nick Schulman ($40,000) and Okada Roll ($53,088.50). The full tilt.com table was ELK (6 max) with an ante of $200.

It was a pretty fun table to watching with most of the hands in the high teens.  One of the first hands I watched was a hand between Nick Schulman and Gus Hansen. Schulman won the hand with two pairs (eights and sevens) against Gus Hansens pair of threes. The hand was worth $37,000.

Later on their was another hand between Nick Schulman and Gus Hansen. Nick Schulman ended up winning again with three of a kind eights. Gus Hansen mucked his cards but lost the $22,997 pot.

Gus Hansen ($18,794) and David Benyamine ($71,641.50) played $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha Hi against LoLiNa ($10,198), Urindanger ($37,286), the guru 11 ($83,321), Cole South ($92,092). They played at the Full Tilt.com table “Brookview” a 6 max table.

The first full hand that I watched was a good one with LoLina winning a $20,794 pot. Urindanger got a 10 on the river giving him two pair but to no avail. LoLina was dealt pocket aces but had no need for them once the board showed 3, 6, 4 giving her a straight.

The game was a fun one to watch with a good amount of high stakes hands with the very next hand a $39k pot that Gus Hansen won. It got much more exciting when after two hands Cole South went all-in for $76k in addition to the $7k he already had in the pot. It was called by David Benyamine. The hand ended up being worth $132,680 with Benyamine winning with full house, Queens full of Twos against Cole South’s full house, Twos full of Fours.

The table basically broke up after about 35 hands…the chip totals were:

• David Benyamine ($102,374)
• LoLiNa ($14,892)
• Gus Hansen ($65,267)
• Urindanger ($41,791)

The table was “Eginton”, there were 2 other $200/$400 pot limit omaha hi games going on with Gus Hansen sitting at another one and Eric Liu and Benyamine playing at the other tables. I picked this table because like always it had the biggest average pot and everyone wants to see high stakes poker!

Well Gus Hansen ended up leaving the table and David Benyamine and  CHUFTY joined the table. The largest hand of the night went to Eric Liu beating David Benyamine with an eight high straight against Benyamine’s pair of aces. The pot was worth $111,383!

I usually don’t post incomplete hand histories but the first hand I watched I really felt like I needed too. It was a hand between Gus Hansen and MUCKEMSAYUHH. MUCKEMSAYUHH had a straight while Gus Hansen had two pair with the community cards showing [3c 2c 6s 2d Qs]. MUCKEMSAYUHH won the pot worth $108,373 after going all-in against Hansen after the river card.

Well after 30 hands there was a lot of turnover with Hansen, CHUFTY (sitting out) and durrr leaving the table.  MUCKEMSAYUHH was taking all their money the chip counts at the point I stopped watching was:

There were a lot of Pot Limit Omaha games going on today…actually the most I have ever seen…. 8 tables of Pot Limit were being played and Gus Hansen was playing in 4 of them and Markus Golser was in 7! The one game I was watching Markus Golser wasn’t sitting at and it was the”Thistle” a 6 max table. I picked the table because the average pot size was over $10k.

Well everything changed after watching for 7 hands…Gus Hansen left the table and Markus Golser ($10k) and LucLongley ($8k) sat down.

Well looks like seeing Gus Hansen at the tables last night was not a fluke as tonight he was back the tables. Looks like he is getting back on the horse and is once again a familiar face at the $200/$400 Pot Limit Omaha.
