Hansen on top at the Bellagio

2008-04-23 16:06:16

World Poker Tour (WPT) walk-of-famer Gus Hansen is in with a good chance of winning a fourth WPT title this week.

The Danish professional lies in provisional first after day three of the tour's Championship event at the Bellagio, with 2,246,000 chips.

Cary Carroll is his nearest rival on 1,900,000, ahead of David Chiu with 1,231,000.

Hansen is the only person in history to have won three WPT trophies, although he has yet to win the player of the year award, losing out to Howard Lederer, Erick Lindgren, Daniel Negreanu, Gavin Smith and JC Tran respectively in each of the last five seasons.

Tran is a still a challenger for the Championship title, although Hansen no longer has to worry about Negreanu, who was eliminated inside the money bubble.

Of the top players still in the competition, Tom Dwan, Jeff Shulman and Robert Mizrachi are all in the top ten, while Men Nguyen, Tom Schneider, Carlos Mortensen and Andy Black remain in the contention.
