Hansen Goes Full Tilt To Title

29th December, 2010

One of the most popular and successful poker player of recent times has waked away with one million big ones in his back pocket, after bagging the Full Tilt Poker Million title for 2010.

Danish poker superstar Gus Hansen picked up the cheque for $1m, having cleaned up at the tables in the online poker room sponsored event played out in London this weekend.

Going into the final table with names such as Barney Boatman, Patrik Antonius and Howard Lederer, Hansen got to the heads-up stage against Tony Bloom - and quickly fought him off to walk away with the top prize.

Gus Hansen is known as one the most aggressive players in poker history, and this latest win takes his tournament career winnings to over $8m.

Hansen is sponsored by the competition's online poker room sponsor.
