Sweet Gus end of night tear up, monster chipleader

Gus Hansen raises before the flop and Jared Hamby flat calls. The flop comes 422, and Gus moves all in. Hamby calls. Hansen turns over 66 while Hamby shows 88 for the best hand. The turn brings the 6, giving Hansen a full house. The river brings the 10, no help to Jared Hamby who is eliminated, earning $39,570.

In one of the last hands of the day, Tim Phan raises under the gun to 32,000, a player calls from early position, Gus Hansen raises from middle position to 152,000, Phan calls, and the other player folds.

The flop comes A43, Phan checks, Hansen bets 202,000, and Phan moves all in for nearly a million. Phan has Hansen covered, but not by a lot. Hansen thinks a bit, saying, "I don't know how I can lay this down." He calls.

Phan shows AQ for a pair of aces, queen kicker. But Hansen shows AK for pair of aces, king kicker. Phan needs a queen to bust Hansen here.

The turn is the 8, the river is the J, and Gus Hansen wins the pot with his king kicker, doubling up to more about 2.2 million.

Gus' image working wonders for him on that hand really especially when you consider thats the 2nd and 3rd biggest chipstacks going at it when theres over 50 players left.
