22 Jul, 2007 High Stakes Poker

Ziigmund was on quite a roll while playing Gus Hansen the other day at Full Tilt Poker. After working his stack up to around $250K due to consecutive reloads from Gus, Ziigmund tried to get under his skin further in the chat box:

Ziigmund: gus
Ziigmund: yo man
Gus Hansen: yes
Ziigmund: lets make deal
Gus Hansen: ????
Ziigmund: always have to raise and reraise before flop
Ziigmund: then continue normally
Gus Hansen: no thx
Ziigmund: lol
Ziigmund: no thx
Ziigmund: LOL
Ziigmund: gus is fish
Ziigmund: so f bad
Ziigmund: and looks like chec republic man
Gus Hansen: you might lose a coin flip one day ZiggyGus was exactly right with what he said, and fortunately Gus didn’t go on tilt. He managed to keep at it, waiting for just the right hand to make his money.

First, Gus took went all-in to take down a massive $215K pot. Less than a few hands later, Hansen put Ziigmund all-in for an even bigger $274K pot to put him back around $360K. Ziigmund left after this, but here is the big hand:
