More high stakes games taking place on Wednesday on Full Tilt Poker. The usual big names included both Gus Hansen and Di Dang screen name urindanger, who played heads up at the massive $500/$1000 Pot Limit Omaha tables.

It took no time at all to find a big hand. Here, Dang makes a big bet on the turn, forcing Hansen to fold.

Dang won the next hand with a similar strategy. However, this pot was taken on the river, with a bet of $9,200.

Gus had had enough, and showed it here. With an already big pot nearing $40,000, The Great Dane made a bet of over $20,000 on the river, forcing ‘Urindanger’ to lay his hand down.

At a six handed table, Hansen was involved in another big hand. He got it in on this flop with harrington25, and lost both runs as his opponent caught up and scooped the $32,000 flop.

This next hand actually went to showdown, which was rare for the day. Di Dang won the $27,000 pot with two pair, queens and jacks.

Hansen continued his slide here. After a river card, Dang made a bet of over $14,000. Hansen tanked for quite a while before releasing his hand and the pot.

Another big hand went to showdown here. The two got all of Hansen’s money in the pot on the flop, and Dang won the first run with a flush and the second with a full house.

The amazing slide of Hansen did not stop there. In this pot, which was again run twice, Dang once again scooped for a total pot of $80,000.

This final hand summed up the entire session. When faced with a bet of over $7,000 on the turn, Gus decided to cut his losses and let his hand go.

On the session, Gus Hansen was seen losing pot after pot. When it was all said and done, Gus was a loser to the amount of around $150,000, nearly all of it going to the days big winner, Di Dang screen name Urindanger.

Multiple high stakes poker tables went off on Full Tilt Poker Thursday night. Some of the games biggest players sat at big stakes games. Di Dang screen name ‘Urindanger’ , Phil Galfond screen name ‘OMGClayAiken’ , and ‘PixKim’ were joined by others at the big time tables. These were the first games seen on Full Tilt that heavily featured the new feature of running pots twice. When all the money gets in the pot, it can be run twice. Players have this option, and it was clearly seen in these games. Our very first hand showed a pot run twice, where Phil Galfond took a total bot worth over $30k taking this pot from Dang.

Galfond scooped another big pot here, after flopping a set of fours.

Di ‘Urindanger’ Dang got some money back in this hand, hitting a flush on both times the hand was run.

It didn’t take long for Galfond to get it back, scooping this pot.

The battle for Cap Limit Omaha continued between Dang and Galfond when the two capped another pot here. Dang got the better of this hand.

Dang took on another opponent in this hand, scooping a pot worht over $32,000 from ‘SxMxF.’

Galfond and ‘SxMxF’ played a heads up table, and scooped this big pot.

Dang got more ahead when he took this big pot from ‘NEKOTYAN.’

Galfond used his ability to put the pressure on in this hand, making a raise to over $11,000 to take this pot.

Aces weren’t good enough for anything for Galfond in this hand, losing both runs.

On the night, Di Dang was the obvious winner, leaving the tables with over $100,000 in profit. After the last hand of heads up play, Phil Galfond’s winnings on the night were less, to around $40,000 from various opponents, mainly ‘SxMxF.’

Di Dang aka urindanger heard that Gus Hansen was giving away money. As a result, he decided to become the First National Bank of Gus and took his shots at Hansen in a couple $300-$600 PLO tables and a $200 – $400 PLO table.

First, on the High Bluff $300-$600 PLO table, Dang took Hansen’s first buy-in to the tune of a $62,195 pot. Hansen moved in with top pair and a flush draw. Dang flopped two pair and had a gutshot straight draw. Dang hit his draw to take down the pot.

It only took 3 hands to take another buy-in off Hansen. All of the money went in on the flop with Hansen having flopped two pair and Dang holding a flush draw and pair of fives. Dang made trips on the turn and filled up on the river to take another 30k off Hansen.

While this was going on, the two tangled on the Crazy Action $300-$600 table. As was the case on the other table, Dang was taking buy-ins here too. The first came after Hansen shoved with a pair of aces and w-in from Hansen.

Hansen then dropped his next buy-in on the very next hand. Granted, this time he was ahead after the flop. He shoved with a gutshot straight draw, a flush draw and a pair. Dang called with a wrap straight draw. Dang hit his draw on the river to take another buy-in off Hansen.

Hansen would win about $24k back from Dang before leaving the table, but it did not make up for the $120k in buy-ins already lost prior.

Phil Gafond aka OMGClayAiken also decided to hop onto the Gus Hansen money train. He took a $34k pot off Hansen after picking off a river bluff from Hansen.

However, the big hand of the day went to Patrik Antonius. On the Big Dipper $200-$400 PLO table, Antonius received a $78k gift from Hansen. All the money went in on the turn with Hansen holding a wheel draw, flush draw and a pair of aces. Antonius already held a straight and held his own flush draw. A heart on the river gave Antonius a flush and a $158,542.50 pot. Now let’s hope he doesn’t turn around and give it over to durrrr later.

Gus Hansen very well may have to change his nickname to the “poker philanthropist” with all the money he has given away today.
