Gus Hansen, who has been running so good over the past few days, had a pretty bad experience on the High Stakes Tables last night, he also ended up dropping around $400K for the day.
Apparently Gus is accusing OMGClayAieken and Urindanger of colluding when they tried squeezing him out of a pot. The hand started out with Gus raising, dang calling and Galfond re-raising with a pair of aces, Gus makes the call but then something very unusual happens – Dang Pushes all-in ( Holding Q,Q,8,8) with a pretty marginal omaha hand.
As soon as the hand is over and Gus sees Urindanger’s hand and he immediately goes off, here is some of the table convo:
Gus Hansen: too suspicious for me
Gus Hansen: nice play guys
Gus Hansen: and somehow they both were quiet
Phil Ivey: definitely collusion lol
Urindanger: you’re an idiot
Gus Hansen: If you think the QQ88 is a good play
there you wouldnt have any money
Gus Hansen: thats why it is strange
Gus Hansen: but hey whatever I just have to quit
Phil Ivey: nooo
Phil Ivey: i will transfer u the 85k u jus lost
Phil Ivey: call it a gift
I believe the hand really upset Gus and he actually thinks the two players are colluding, however the thing to note is if he continues playing against these two players in the coming weeks. Also we will have to wait and see how Urindanger and OMGClayAiken, who are very good friends, respond to these accusations, and whether they can or will prove, justify that they weren’t colluding.
I don’t know if they were colluding, but I agree with Gus, the move jus seems to Suss in a game of such High Stakes.
Anyhow here is the Hand check it out and see what you think
Gus Hansen, Urindanger and OMGClayAiken get it in pre-flop, $251k pot
The hand came up again in a convo at another table, here is the table talk:
Gus Hansen: ups OMG behind me better fold
OMGClayAiken: ?
OMGClayAiken: am I picking on you today more than usual?
durrrr: did u miss table chat other table?
OMGClayAiken: i guess so
Gus Hansen: nope the other pot took the fun out of playing
durrrr: he thinks u and z squeezed him or something
OMGClayAiken: im on laptop
durrrr: and then he missed ivey’s offer to give him the 85k back
durrrr: if hed stay and play
OMGClayAiken: reading now…
OMGClayAiken: haha
OMGClayAiken: well, Z is a fish
Gus Hansen: yeap but the fact if your and mine position would have been reversed he would re-re-raise in 0% of the hands and I cant play against that
Gus Hansen: sad but true
OMGClayAiken: heh.. I’m pretty sure he’d be more likely to rr if we reversed spots
Gus Hansen: lol
Gus Hansen: how much you wanna bet on that
Gus Hansen: silly of you even to make that argument
OMGClayAiken: I mean… I’d bet a lot on it if we could prove it
Gus Hansen: id bet a lot on the lie detector too
Gus Hansen: you’d be drawing dead
Phil Ivey: lets jus all go all in blind nex hand
Phil Ivey: i promise it will make everyone feel better
Gus Hansen: I give this game about 7 minutes max
