High-Stakes Online Poker: Gus Hansen Starts 2014 Off By Dropping $700,000Poker Pro Now In The Hole Nearly $15.6 Million Lifetime |
|
It is hard to put into words how terrible Gus Hansen was on Full Tilt Poker in 2013. He lost a staggering sum of around $8.4 million.
To start 2014, he has already dusted off $698,000, according to HighstakesDB.
He started off the year on a tiny upswing, winning around $200,000, but with most miniature Hansen upswings, it was quickly followed by gut-wrenching defeats.
The “Gus Hansen” screen name on Full Tilt, which has been in existence since 2005, has now dumped $15,570,941 over 1,383,512 hands, according to the tracking data.
He is a sponsored player by the site, which is now owned by PokerStars.
His account is by far the most abysmal in the history of online poker.
Despite the losses, especially the deficit over recent memory, Hansen continues to play often and against the games best players, grinders such as Viktor “Isildur1” Blom, Ben “Bttech86” Tollerene and Jens “Ingenious89” Kyllönen. While Hansen used to gamble it up big in pot-limit games, these days he is usually seen at fixed limit tables, albeit still at the highest stakes.
While Hansen has been getting crushed as per usual, Tollerene and Blom have been winning. The Texan is up around $750,000 this year so far, while Blom has profits of around $225,000. Both players were among the top earners from 2013.
Dan “Jungleman12” Cates, who was crushing the high-stakes world in the pre-Black Friday days, has started off this year with a solid $115,000 in winnings. He was pretty quiet last year, winning just $400,000. He’s up $7.5 million lifetime on Full Tilt.
Joining Hansen on the loser leader board to start 2014 were Patrik “FinddaGrind” Antonius and Ben “Sauce1234” Sulsky, who had a disastrous 2013 despite being the biggest winner from online poker in 2012. Maybe his opponents have figured him out?
