Hansen goes off on OMGClayAiken, Urindanger
Gus Hansen lost several hundred thousand dollars on Full Tilt last night.
He then proceeded to insinuate that Phil "OMGClayAiken" Galfond and Di "Urindanger" Dang were cheating.
It was a somewhat unusual situation last night as there was a full ring at Hansen's Blender, which is a $500/$1,000 Pot-Limit Omaha table.
The combatants included noted players like Erik Seidel, Phil Ivey, Hansen, Tom "durrrr" Dwan, Galfond and Dang.
The hand that started the controversy began with Hansen betting $3,500 preflop with J♦ 9♠ 8♦ 7♥. Dang called with Q♦ Q♠ 8♠ 8♣, but Galfond reraised to $18,000 with A♠ A♣ K♠ 7♣.
Hansen called but Urindanger shoved for $48,144. OMGClayAiken reshoved for $167,432, and Hansen called for the last of his $80,985 stack.
The board came K♥ 7♠ 4♦ 5♦ 2♥ and OMGClayAiken scooped the pot.
The players exchanged the following texts after the hand:
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
It wasn't clear whether Hansen was just extremely tilted by the hand, or was actually accusing OMGClayAiken and Urindanger of collusion.
Brian Hastings and Tom Dwan have already come out in defense of Dang and Galfond, while Hansen had yet to confirm any subtext to his comments. Dwan also defended Dang's play, saying the shove could easily be right.

2009-07-26i dont play much omaha, but that seems to me a little suspicious... why would he raise with QQ88, like i said, i dont play much omaha, but obviously a pair of queens isnt going to win the pot, and hes betting that much with only 4 outs... just seems a little wierd to me

2009-05-10DOYLE UR COMEMNT MAKES NO SENSE. and OG your comment is just lain dumb, the article is about collusion, and you have just given a little rendition of collusion in work, err they are friends and could share the money, couldnt that be cheating??? ummmm hence collusion. Jezz people. The re raise was obviously comepletely stupid mind, qq88, but then cant call fold with 40bbs so its reshuv or fold pre. Obv fold pre but hey, these gys play nosebleed stakes and play like idiots, just how it rolls.

2009-03-26since dang, durrrr, and OMG are all friends... couldn't they give back the money they won from each other... so basically its
12 cards vs. hansens 4
and hansen has become a high stakes donkey with a huge ego.. IMO he will lose close to all of his money
