-$16 Million Now For Gus Hansen On Full Tilt Poker

Poker Pro Reaches Lowest Point Ever On Software

This is his lowest point ever on the software.

We reported Friday that Gus Hansen started off the year on a nearly $700,000 downswing, and since then he has dropped yet another $300,000, which brings his deficit on the year already to seven-figures and his lifetime hole on the software to an astounding $16 million.

That’s more than twice as terrible as the second worst account of all time.

Those figures, via tracking site HighstakesDB, correspond to the results from his “Gus Hansen” screen name, which was created in 2006. That account has logged nearly 1.4 million hands over the years, according to the tracking.

Here’s a look at his HSDB graph:

Hansen is paid by Full Tilt — which is under the same umbrella of ownership as PokerStars — to represent the site. Hansen was a member of the team of sponsored pros when the site became engulfed in scandal under previous ownership. Like many, Hansen was never accused of any wrongdoing and came out from it with another chance to endorse the brand.

Hansen’s losses so far this year came after he recorded a nice few days to begin January. However, like has been the case for well over a year now, he couldn’t hold it together.

What makes his roughly 14-month long slide even more incredible is that he was on a historic $6 million upswing prior to Black Friday in April 2011. It appears the time off was devastating.

Check back on Friday for another update on the high-stakes poker world.
