Watson: Hansen match ill-advised

2009-03-16 12:22:39

Online superstar Mike 'SirWatts' Watson has claimed that a recent heads-up $500-1,000 pot-limit Omaha match with Gus Hansen was likely "ill-advised".

Writing in his PokerSavvy blog, the World Poker Tour (WPT) titlist claimed to have lost a significant amount of money in the online game last week, before winning it all back elsewhere in the following days.

Hansen, a three-time WPT titlist, has had a number big wins recently, according to High Stakes DB.

Over the weekend, he reportedly took $970,000 off the Dang brothers, trex313 and Urindanger.

This was preceded by a $388,000 win against Brian Hastings and an $800,000 victory against a combination of top online players, including Ziigmund.

The results helped Hansen to break even after a rollercoaster week in which he was at one point down by more than $1 million.

He is up by around $1.8 million on the internet so far this year.
