Gus Hansen enjoyed an amazing year on the World Poker Tour where he was the only one to make it to the closing poker table in three of the tournaments. Gus Hansen has been seen on High Stakes Poker on GSN where he paid $400, 000 to play. You may remember one of the biggest pots in big stakes poker history up against Daniel Negreanu.
