Poker Superstars 3 – Gus Hansen Crazy Plays
What do you get what Gus Hansen sits at the table, needing to win in order to progress to the final 16, and decides to move all-in in every hand? Carnage!
Gus is behind in the tournemant and needs a first place finish to win, so right off the bat he tells the other players “do not raise my blinds”. Well he goes all-in preflop the first few hands and picks up quite a few chips, until he finally goes all-in against Phil Helmuth. Hellmuth has AJ suited and knowing that Hansen is playing super loose he calls, and gets knocked out when Hansen’s pocket deuces hit him a set on the flop!
Chris Moneymaker Best Bluff
This bluff, heads up at the final table of the 2025 WSOP main event was truly remarkable. Talk about putting the pressure on your opponent, Farha had the best hand from the flop yet Moneymaker bluffed his way into winning the pot, and of course goingon to make history as the first ever player to win the WSOP $10,000 main event via an Internet satallite.
Bad beat Full house vs full house
This was the very first hand in the 2025 WSOP $10,000 main event and an incredible bad beat (or lucky flop, depending on which side of the table you were sitting!) where Sammy Farha beat Oliver Hudson with Aces full vs Tens full.
