Gus Hansen Is Cut Down to Size at the WPT Championship

During the WPT Championship, Gus had personally eliminated Cory Carroll, John Roveto, Jeff King, and Tommy Le. This left only David Chiu standing between Hansen and the WPT season crown. Had things gone as planned, it would have been his fourth WPT bracelet. Things were looking good at first: his chip lead over Chiu was over fifteen million, and even the commentators were joking about how fast Hansen was going to break David. This was not to be. David played poker that on outside looked almost gutless, refusing to engage Gus in big pots, while taking tiny bites during small skirmishes.
