I'm confused by this, not only are they playing with just 10bb (or slightly) above that but they push and call with S-F-A? I realise some players play the minimum buy-in approach but are you not supposed to get the money in with a big hand pre-flop, i.e. limp, re-raise with AA?

Gus has gotta love the super-aggressive hype that follows him. He took DanDock21 for a further $30,000 in the next 2 hands.

nice call by Gus on the flop..he must have known they were donks cus against most Omaha players who move all-in after an all-in shove (even though admitteldy it was only pot sized) he'd be well behind with his pair of kings.

This is Gus Hansen, he doesnt have to be ahead to call...

lol..fair point
