Online Poker: Hansen In Free Fall, Now Down $13.5M

The Bleeding Just Won't Stop For The Danish Poker Pro

Gus Hansen is drifting deeper and deeper into the Mariana Trench of the online poker world.

The past few days have seen Hansen drop around $600,000 on Full Tilt, which brings his losses on the week to around $1.9 million, his deficit for the past 30 days to around $2.8 million, and his lifetime hole on the software to an unbelievable $13.5 million.

Those figures are according to tracking from HighstakesDB.

To give you some context on just how bad the “Gus Hansen” account has fared on Full Tilt Poker over the years, consider that the second-worst account ever is unknown “noataima” — inactive since 2009 — which lost just $7 million.

Hansen has played around 1.35 million hands on Full Tilt since taking the screen name.

The Dane plays a lot of limit Omaha eight-or-better and limit deuce-to-seven triple draw these days. Despite the limits being fixed, the stakes are huge, and can easily result in massive swings. Hansen keeps getting crushed for six-figure sums in most of his sessions.

The negative $13.5 million mark comes after Card Player reported this past Wednesday that he had reached negative $12 million, which was then his lowest point ever.

It doesn’t appear that Hansen will take a break anytime soon. He is one of the most stubborn online poker players in history. He should be back soon, trying to claw back.
