Gus Hansen – Don’t Call It A Comeback

Online poker's king of downswing making gains.

It would be a massive understatement to say that Full Tilt Poker Professional Gus Hansen hasn’t done very well when it comes to online poker. In fact, The Great Dane is the lifetime leader in losses when it comes to the virtual felt sitting at just under $16 million in money distributed to others (aka: losses).

But this week, things turned around for Hansen, if but for a brief shining moment. He’s been sitting in with some of the high-stakes 2-7 Triple Draw tables at 2k/4k and making, for him, modest gains for a few days in a row.

Hansen held his own and posted a three day total profit of $630k, according to the Full Tilt Blog. His $260k winning day on Sunday came at the expense of some of the most well-known nosebleed grinders like Jungleman, Kagome Kagome and Isildur1. The sudden heater gives hopes to his fans and probably his backers that if he can build on that, he might just be able dig himself out of the record-breaking money pit he finds himself in.
