Gus Hansen mauls Ziigmund for $204,191 pot

Happy days for the Great Dane.

Online poker forum members love to post about Gus Hansen being a major fish in nosebleed poker games, but it appears that every once in a while, fish can bite back.

As of 1 p.m. ET today, Hansen is dominating the Top 10 Biggest Pots on PokerListings.com's MarketPulse. In fact, in the top 10, Hansen has raked five pots each worth over $100,000, while losing just one, to sunra18 for $87,195.

It was all Pot-Limit Omaha, as is usually the case with those aggressive Europeans, and Hansen made his biggest scores versus Ziigmund, Brian "Sbrugby" Hastings and newcomer MR B 2 U SON (Benyamine perhaps?).

Hansen dragged a $204,191 pot from Ziigmund (Finnish player Ilari Sahamies) when he hit two pair on the turn and Ziggy held a pair and a flush draw. Apparently the hand was enough to get Ziigmund to call for the last $45,396 in front of him, and Hansen's hand held up.

Hansen seems to slowly be creeping toward getting himself even for the year at high-stakes poker. He's nowhere near the Top 10 No-Limit Hold'em Money Makers, which, as of Nov. 23, was dominated by players like Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond, Phil Ivey and even the aforementioned Ziigmund.
