Hansen Gets There on the Turn
Level 15
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Action folded to Bill Perkins in the small blind and he raised to 40,000. Gus Hansen took his time before calling from the big and then watched Perkins fire out 35,000 on the 
flop. Hansen responded with a raise to 135,000 and Perkins wasted little time in announcing that he was all in.
"I guess I wasn't putting that much in and not calling," Hansen said before haphazardly dropping in his entire stack of 244,000.
Hansen: 
Perkins: 
"That's a good turn card for me," Hansen said nonchalantly when the 
peeled off to give him the straight and guaranteed double. Perkins didn't seem too thrilled and it only rubbed salt in the wound when the 
river gave him trips.
