Gus who?

October 11, 2007 @ 8:51 AM -

Nothing to do with snowboarding but… We went to a Poker tournament and I went head to head with Poker Champ Gus Hansen.

We sat down on the Sit & Go table, played, and half an hour later Gus went home. Ahaha! How about that? Only game he lost for the whole day on the Face to Face tables against amateurs!

With that I got an entry to the main tournament, but alas I didn’t win the million euros, nor the gold WSOP bracelet. Oh well, next year…

Photo Ed Sami went to the finals and finished 164 out of 2000 odd guys. But he didn’t beat the World Champ. I’m so frickin’ stoked.

“Don’t go all in with and 8 and a 6 against me, Gus.”

Gus has played Ingemar too. Not sure who won, though.
