Hansen goes from bustout to near chipleader as 4-1 dog
Hansen Spikes a Miracle Ten to Stay Alive
Tournament chip leader Tuan Lam just took a major hit, courtesy of a bad beat put on him by Gus Hansen.
Tuan made it 50,000 before the flop from the cutoff and Gus reraised, making it 148,000 to go from the big blind. Lam then moved all in, which put Gus to a decision for the rest of his chips and he made the call, revealing pocket tens; Tuan had him in bad shape with pocket queens.
The flop came , and Gus covered his mouth with both hands in disbelief. The turn and river blanked out, doubling Gus up to 1,406,000 in chips.
"I have to admit . . . that's sick," Gus said after raking in the pot. Tuan was left with a respectable 1,880,000 after the hand.
