Hansen Battles South In Sick Action-Packed PL Omaha Match

During some afternoon heads-up action on Full Tilt Poker, high stakes professional Gus Hansen found himself in quite a battle against high stakes young gun Cole South. They were going at it over on Full Tilt Poker table Phys in a game $200/$400 Pot-Limit Omaha. Although Hansen started with just a $16K buy-in, the stack sizes would soon grow and the pots would get quite large. South managed to rake in two big $80K hands and a monster $150K+ pot during the 70-minute match. Despite that, Hansen was still able to come out ahead thanks to a $100K+ hand in his favor. After 107 hands of action, Hansen decided to finish up with a solid $33K win over South.
