Poker Players | estimated reading time
2013. May 16.
One of this year’s biggest online high stakes loser so far, Gus Hansen managed to pull himself together and won a total of $1.5 million on FLO8 and 27TD tables earlier this week. His payday was sponsored by Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom and Alex ‘PostflopAction’ Kostritsyn, above all.
Full Tilt Poker saw the bulk of this week’s online high stakes action, especially on the FLO8 $2,000/$4,000 and 27TD $1,500/$3,000 tables, featuring Viktor ‘Isildur1’ Blom, Alex ‘PostflopAction’ Kostritsyn, Kyle ‘cottonseed1’ Hendon, Kyle ‘KPR16’ Ray, 'SallyWoo' and Gus Hansen. One of the biggest online high stakes losers so far this year, Hansen was down $3,069,068 at the beginning of his Tuesday session but he ended up improving his annual balance significantly, with $1,509,248 in profits.

Gus Hansen - $1.5M Session

What is more, his two main victims were 2013 online high stakes profit list leader ‘Isildur1’ (up $4,282,211 before the session) and runner-up ‘PostflopAction’ (up $3,057,735 before the session). The former lost $627,533 and the latter $578,778 by the end of the day. Other high stakes regulars said goodbye to bigger or smaller fortunes, including ‘KPR16’ ($405,504), ‘SallyWoo’ ($169,047), Phil ‘OMGClayAiken’ Galfond, Sebastien ‘Seb86’ Sabic and ‘kakwan_lc’. Only one player, next to Hansen, managed to raise some profits at the FTP HS tables: ‘cottonseed1’ scored $300,762.

This session elevated the pressure of being the biggest loser this year from Hansen: the title now goes to Phil ‘Polarizing’ Ivey, who is down $2,297,409 this year. ‘Isildur1’ continues to lead the annual money list with $3,654,678, while ‘cottonseed1’ took over the runner-up position with 2,801,390. ‘PostflopAction’ occupies the 3rd position, with $2,478,957 in profits.
