Hansen Busts; Counts from Table 361
Gus Hansen fired out a pot-sized bet of 40,000 on a flop of , and Jonathan Duhamel pushed out a stack of what looked like 200,000 or so. This sent the Great Dane into the tank, where he started talking to himself.
"If you have that, it's good," he said. "If you have that, it's bad."
Hansen continued for a few minutes before saying something about "going down swinging," and then tossed one chip forward, calling the bet.
"You call?" Duhamel said, confused as to whether or not Hansen was all in.
Hansen nodded - his stack was 153,800 after his 40,000-chip bet was pulled in - and the two rolled over their cards.
Hansen:
