Almost Gus and Borgata Bucks Trend

Gus Hansen the great Dane, almost cemented himself as a legend of poker. Gus is the all time leader in wins on the World Poker Tour. he just missed his fourth win at the Bellagio last week losing heads up to fellow Full Tilt Poker pro David Chiu. Gus won the Aussie millions in 2007, which was the start of his turn around. He went very deep in the 07 WSOP main event. It was hard not to find yourself rooting for Gus.

Another notable story out of the WPT Championship was that of Tom "Durrr" Dwan. The young brash pro poker player from New Jersey lost an odd bet. He was late for the tournament and lost a wager to Alan Sass. Because of this Durrr had to wear a funny hat each day of the tourney. The crazy part of it was that Dwan made it all the way down to the final table and just missed making it on to the TV final table. That would have been funny as shit.

Borgata held its $500,000 gaurantee this weekend. With a 2k buy in this meant they guaranteed 250 entries. I personally can say that I didn't expect them to sell out, but they did. Kudos to Tab and Ray over the Borgata for running the best tournaments in Atlantic City. Speaking of the Borgata tonight is the premiere of the Borgata Poker Open on GSn. Big names at the final table include Roy Winston and Mike Matasow.

Suck it.
