Gus Hansen's Big Wins and Tough Losses in Macau Poker


Gus Hansen was playing in a No Limit Hold'em game with blinds of HKD $10,000/20,000 in Macau. Hansen was in the lead with HKD $30 million ($3.86 million USD) at the time of the article's publication.

Hansen mentioned that he was exhausted from the 24-hour poker sessions and had to sleep. He appreciated the high level of organization and good behavior of the players at the Poker King Club. Hansen noted that the players were very respectful to each other, the staff, and the dealers, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

Andrew Robl won HKD $3 million ($386,000 USD) in Macau. Winfred Yu won HKD $1 million ($129,000 USD) in Macau. Phil Ivey played to a draw in the last week.

I've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
