Gus Hansen blows up in chat, and feedback on Full Tilt’s “Rush Poker.” Check it out in today’s PTPN Hit and Run.
The high-stakes world has been a little bit stagnant in 2010. But there is a bit of news. Cole South just took a pot of $600K from Ilari “Ziigmund” Sahamies. Read about it here. We’ve also been tracking the early success of Gus Hansen, who is up more than a million after being down more than $5M last year. However, he took some losses a few days ago, and had some choice words for his opponents in chat. An excerpt: “Gus Hansen: actually not very smart of me – Ziigmund has been the luckiest on Full Tilt for 3 years – Cole South the luckiest in 2009 and Eazy Peazy is just lucky and good.”
