Gus Hansen Versus Hac "trex313" Dang Poker Challenge
Fresh off his heavily publicized poker boxing match this past weekend, Gus Hansen is now taking on Hac "trex313" Dang in a poker challenge that is rivaling that of Tom "Durr" Dwan vs. Patrik Antonius.
Dang appeared to be up Tuesday night. PokerListings.com reports that, of the 10 $100,000 plus pots that have been played between the two of them, Dang had won eight.
From PokerListings.com:
"It's worth noting that Dang has quietly amassed over $2 million in poker profits in the early stages of 2009. Although some find it surprising, Hansen has also put together a great start to the year, having already gained over $1 million."
So Gambling911.com readers know most about Gus Hansen than a lot of us would care to know. They only information we don't have about Hansen is whether he wears boxers or briefs.
On the other hand, we know very little about Hac Dang.
Hac is part of a poker brother tandem.
According to Bluff Magazine, Hac and Z are nosebleed-stakes cash game players on Full Tilt Poker who have won millions of dollars beating up on some of the toughest competition on the Internet. The brothers, Di (pronounced "Z") and Hac Dang, own and share the account.
When we first started playing, we were constantly in competition with one another," Hac told Bluff just over a year ago. "Z would play a ton and move up and I would realize that he was getting a lot better than I was, so then I would play constantly until I had matched him or got better, and it would just keep going back and forth."
For the Dang brothers, right now it's all about family. A lot of their winnings are going towards helping out their little brothers and sisters.
"I think we're both really happy helping the family and being able to play together and helping each other out. It's just a really great situation for us."
