Featured Player - Gus Hansen
Originally from Copenhagen, Denmark, Gus is a WPT final table fixture, who learned to play poker in Santa Cruz, California. Known for his aggressive style with cards that some might think “unplayable,” Gus is known to excel in at least ten different games and was a champion backgammon player before coming to poker. On the WPT, Gus continues to dominate, having won two tournaments in Season 1 and making it to another final table in Season 2

NOTES:

1) Player Statistics from a tournament will not appear until that tournament has aired on TV.

2) WPT Player Points: Points are assigned as follows: 1st place = 1000, 2nd place = 700, 3rd place = 600, 4th place = 500, 5th place = 400, 6th place = 300, 7th place ("out on the bubble") = 200. The points are only assigned to players who have played through a tournament event to reach the final table. Players who participate in a final table event by invitation receive "0" points.


"Remember - it depends. What makes poker so challenging is that no two situations are alike. Rather than try to memorize a formula, you must constantly evaluate the other players, the odds, and the specifics of a hand."



How can you tell if someone has made it to the World Poker Tour final table? Ask to see their WPT Card Marker. These rare card markers are actually solid silver ingots that have been given exclusively to players who have won their way through a tournament to a World Poker Tour final table. Each WPT card marker is embossed with the WPT logo and engraved on the back. The only way to get it is to get into the game!
