NOT SO FAST! DON'T WRITE OFF GUS HANSEN JUST YET!

It's been a tough year for Gus Hansen. Things have not gone as planned on line and many were ready to kiss his career goodbye - suggesting that the game that he helped propel to new levels had passed him by.

Well, not so fast. Hansen wrapped up a marathon three match session at the WSOPE High Roller Head's Up with a win, winning his first bracelet!

The first two matches lasted so long that both players and tournament officials agreed to move the third match to earlier today. Hansen was down by a ton early but, he was able to crawl his way back into the match to win it all. Thumbs up to Hansen's opponent, Jim Collopy, for a fine effort.

Ram Vaswani, Andrew Feldman, Daniel Negreanu, Huck Seed and Neil Channing were among the other players scoring points in this event.
