Big Hansen Versus Little Hansen

Casper Hansen made it 2,100 to go from first position and only found a call from Gus Hansen in the cut off position before the flop came {4-Spades} {3-Clubs} {2-Clubs}.

Casper continued his aggression with a 3,000 bet before seeing Gus raise up to 12,200. Casper's answer was to reraise up to 29,000. Pretty quickly Gus used both hands to roughly slide all his chips over the line. The all-in bet was a total of 81,500.

The room got word of what was going on and suddenly the table was surrounded by four cameras, sound men, four floor persons, a host of written press and curious folk with all-access passes. This caused the temperature in this corner of the room to rise beyond what was already just bearable.

This situation wasn't helped by Capser taking nearly ten minutes to make his decision which was to......fold.

Still a large pot and the two Danes passed each other on the chip leaderboard as Gus now has 120,000 and Casper 108,000.
