And more to have been online player to make the most money in 2011, Gus Hansen is now talking about him because he would have won the equivalent of $ 3.9 million in Macau (30 million Hong Kong dollars). At these parties, the blinds are $ 1300 / $2600.
To make so much money, it should be noted that there must be a true grinder. Grinder, means here the sessions for more than 20 hours (sometimes up to 24 and 25 hours). This is the mode of life currently Mr Hansen who sleeps 8 hours and works 24 hours.
At the tables, we note pros, obviously, but also a lot of businessmen not having really the knowledge nor the experience to beat Tom Dwan, Phil Ivey and Gus Hansen of this world (that is, you guessed it, what attracts the sharks).
Obviously, to make so much money, it must also "good runner". The biggest pot of Hansen won when he went all in preflop with AA 3 way against QQ, and JJ.
Many people say that Macao will downgrade Las Vegas in the coming years as the world capital of gambling. In support of this hypothesis, include that the turnover of the Macao rooms has increased from 42% in 1 year and its turnover is now larger than Las Vegas game rooms. The small island of Macau has become in a few years a new capital of the game world.
While the island had 6 casinos in 2001, date to which the gaming sector was opened to competition, it now has 25. In total, these rooms generate $ 6.95 billion.
It has thus exceeded Las Vegas whose game revenues are estimated at $ 6.5 billion.
The game represents 50% of the GDP of Macau, no less, and account for half of the economic growth.
If it wasn't the World Series of Poker who stand in Vegas every year, Las Vegas would already more status it has in the eyes of poker players to this day.
Hansen about the poker games being held in Macao: "Poker King Club, the parties are very well organized and played in a particularly pleasant atmosphere [...] "I think that many pros might learn things on how to behave at a poker table looking at these parties."
To the second rank of the biggest winners include Andrew Robl who won the equivalent of 400K.
