Gus Hansen Collects Millions at Macau High Stakes Tables

Gus Hansen, the Danish professional poker player, has already made an impressive profit of US$3.86 million at the big money games in Macau. The poker player had arrived at Macau a few days back and is soon scheduled to participate in the Aussie Millions.

Poker King Club of StarWorld Macau has been hosting the HKD $10k/$20k or US$1,300/$2,600 poker games for the past several weeks and a number of rich Asian entrepreneurs are playing for recreation against top professional online poker players such as Andrew Robl, Phil Ivey, John Juanda, and Gus Hansen.

Fortune has been smiling on Hansen ever since he sat down at the tables, and he has already raked in profits of US$258,000. Pleased with his own performance, Gus intends to stay back in Macau for a few more days before heading over to Australia.

According to his latest blog post: “This session was more up and down than the previous 2 sessions and at one point I found myself holding Aces – unfortunately I was also holding Jacks vs. Queens in another huge all-in hand. At first a Jack hit the flop, but a Queen came sailing in on the river.”

According to his blog, Gus is in high spirits right now. Moreover, he is feeling more than ready for the competition in Melbourne. Simultaneously, he also said that he is amazed at the high energy level of the other poker players in Macau and stated that he was one who had to quit the game and go to bed, leaving the others playing till the wee hours of the morning.

Hansen also expressed his appreciation of the big money games hosted at Poker King Club. He stated that the games are being played in an excellent spirit with plenty of laughter; while simultaneously, the players respect one another, the dealers, and the staff.
