The Great Dane Is Back

Neil Stoddart - PokerStars, All Rights Reserved

After this tweet from Daniel Negreanu back in August, we thought perhaps it was only a matter of time before Gus “The Great Dane” Hanson made his comeback. And according to PokerNews, it looks like he is re-entering the world of gambling.

During the Big One for One Drop Extravaganza last month PokerNew’s Frank Op de Woerd sat down with the man himself to talk all things poker and asked if we can expect to see him back on the live tournament circuit any time soon.

Read the interview to see what he had to say.

Let’s not forget that Hanson was back on PokerStars playing online under his “broksi” account over the summer ...probably trying the claw back the $1.39 million lifetime he’s lost on that account…pocket change compared to the $20 million plus he is down on his old Full Tilt account.

New Channel & Show Coming from Doug Polk & Joey Ingram

In the recent Poker Life Podcast Joey Ingram and Doug Polk revealed that they will be starting their own show (tentatively due to air next wednesday) that will take inspiration from the Pardon the Interruption, sports show that always had a “humorous and often loud tone”.

That should suit Polk and Ingram just perfectly.

The show (the name is still tbd) will be recorded live and will be available on their Twitch and YouTube channels.

If that wasn’t enough, skip to the 54 min mark to hear Polk discuss his plans for a new YouTube comedy channel which won’t have anything to do with polker.

Sorry, not sorry.
