Gus Hansen Strikes Back; Wins $321,000
The Great Dane was recently reported to have suffered losses in August to the tune of $3,000,000 at Pot-Limit Omaha and No-Limit Hold ‘em. Yesterday he clocked a $321,000 win at $200/$400 PLO against CardRunners instructors Cole “CTS” South and Brian “Stinger88” Hastings, which might take the sting off a little. Maybe.

$150K Guaranteed in William Hill’s Friday Fever
We think that John Travolta may have got his days mixed up when he was jiving away in Saturday Night Fever. Shiny white nylon suits and platform shoes may have floated Travolta’s boat but Bluff Europe much prefers the sound of William Hill Poker’s Friday Night Fever.

Ziigmund Wins Almost $500k from Phil Ivey
