Show Room in Die

Gus Hansen’s recent winning streak was briefly interrupted few nights ago; it served as a major victory for Phil “OMGClayAiken,” the player who dealt the $135k strike. Martonas and cadillac1944, two players who have been mostly absent from high stakes poker news in the past few weeks, resurfaced as well.

Hansen together with Galfond played a 357 hand heads up multi-table session on Full Tilt Poker, and the brief session of $500 / $1,000 PLO caused a $135k win for Galfond. Galfond, noted high stakes grinder in his own right, called it a night after his win. When using Full Tilt Poker don’t forget to use its Full Tilt Bonus to avail on the free bonus.

Hansen was reluctant to settle for lose, however, and he stayed online to play next to NoParasan and Doorbread. During these sessions, Hansen managed to bounce back quickly, recovering his losses acquired from Galfond and earning an additional $101k in profit. Hansen is indeed showing no real signs of taking it slow, and he’s nearly broken the $3 million profit barrier for 2011 already.

Despite his losses to Hansens, NoParasan wind up as the biggest winner of the evening, earning $361k from a series of matches against cadillac1944.
