Gus Hansen took probably the worst beating of his poker career from Friday to Saturday, reports Highstakesdb.com. While we don't know the final results for these sessions yet, the Dane lost a staggering 1.2 million dollars in a 24 hour spell. Gus's tormentors were Di "Urindanger" Dang and David "MR B 2 U SON" Benyamine, both of whom had had long lean spells in the high stakes games.

Di was running great against Gus and won $740k. To see just how great he was running, take a look at these hands:

Gus started well against David Benyamine, but the Frenchman stormed back and was up $640k by the time of the report.
