Hansen gets back in winning ways, then comes unstuck against Brian Hastings

Earlier this week it looked like Gus Hansen had overcome his recent run of bad form when he came away from a PLO session with a profit of $898,000, only to lose a lot of his profit to Brian Hastings the next day.

Gus has been hitting the PLO tables in the last week and it looks like he is back to his indomitable self. In a session at the $300/$600 6-Max tables at Full Tilt, he was up against the likes of Phil “OMGClayAiken” Galfond, David Benyamine, trex313, sunra18 and Urindanger. It was against sunra18 that Hansen scooped one of the biggest pots. Sunra18 pushed all in after the flop of 2-8-3, holding A-A-K-9 and Gus called with 4-5-4-5 and hit his full house when the 4-8 came on the remaining two community cards, collecting the $172,228 pot.

It was on the $200/$400 tables that Brian Hastings got the better of Hansen. In past meetings between these two, Gus has usually been the victor and this time he was gaining an advantage but Hastings fight his way back and end the session with a $596,000 profit.
