Huge high stakes action at Bobby’s Room ft. Jungleman, Ike Haxton and Gus Haxton
While the WSOP is running in full effect in the RIO, the real high stakes games take place in Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio featuring the likes of Dan Jungleman Cates, Isaac Haxton, Brian Rast and Gus Hansen.
The laters is famous for his quoze “It’s going to be a great summer”. However, so far it didn’t turn out to be so great so far. The Danish poker star voiced his discontent about his losses in Bobby’s Room at the Bellagio on his popular Instagram account.
Gus Hansen Calls Out Jungleman
Only a few weeks ago, Hansen seemed to be very eager to grab a chair at Bobby’s Room, the world’s most famous high stakes cash game room in the Bellagio, in Las Vegas, NV.
On May 22nd, for example, he was impatiently waiting for one of the best players in the world, Daniel “Jungleman” Cates to give him some high stakes action. He used Instagram to send his invitation.
It’s a testament of great confidence to challenge one of the biggest crushers of online poker history.
Especially given the fact that Hansen ‘s online results are the polar opposite of Jungleman’s. The Danish poker pro, while seeing great success in the live tournament scene, has lost more than $20 million in online cash games…
Gus Hansen’s Not-So-Great Summer Starts
Near the end of May, his followers started hearing Hansen’s famous catchphrase, “it’s gonna be a great summer”, again and again.
And at first, it seemed like he had good reasons to be optimistic. Hansen posted a video of his $320K stack that he was about to cash out while proclaiming “another good day at Bobby’s Room”.
However, things went south quickly. The very next day, he uploaded this video bemoaning the fact that he went bust in poker’s most notorious nosebleed stakes live cash room.
Later, he took on Phil Galfond, Isaac Haxton and Keith Lehr at the table with varying success, as evidenced by his Insta posts. And even “Jungleman” Cates heeded Hansen’s invitation and showed up in Bobby’s Room again.
Gus Hansen’s NBA Bet
Looking for action outside poker, “the Great Dane” took on an ambitious wager against one of the players in Bobby’s Room.
During a “casual” $2,000/$4,000 Stud session, game 2 of the Golden State Warriors – Toronto Raptors NBA final was playing in the back. Hansen took the opportunity and bet $1,200 at 100:1 odds in his favor that the score will not be exactly 108-105 for the Warriors.
If the game had ended with that scoreline, Hansen would have had to pay up $120,000. Fortunately for him, it didn’t – however, it was very close. The Warriors ended up beating the Raptors 109-104…
Gus losses big in Bobby’s Room
So Gus Hansen dodged a $120,000 bullet there and even got paid $1,200. But this doesn’t mean that his summer is going as great for him as he had hoped it would. His latest update is this video from last Sunday.
In it, he admits that he lost a lot more than that $120K he “saved” by not losing his NBA bet. However, it doesn’t seem that quitting the Bobby’s Room games is on his mind just yet.
Gus Hansen ends with this line: “Great summer is still to come”.
