But First: Great Dane's Bracelet Ceremony

Possibly the only thing for which a bracelet-event final table might now be paused for is the awarding of another bracelet. This one, for the ￡10,000 Heads-Up event here in London, goes to none other than Gus Hansen, after a final vs. Jim Collopy that had to span two days and three matches.
103 players took each other on, one at a time, until only these two remained. Hansen's matches were crowd-pullers, with a two-outer against Phil Ivey at one point drawing him back from the brink; he ended up winning that match and his confident performance sent him all the way through to the final. Collopy was a tough opponent, but Hansen prevailed to bring home ￡288,409 and his first ever WSOP gold, surely a satisfying achievement for the triple WPT winner. Hansen is one of the most recognisable players in the world, having graced televised poker nearly from its outset, his unpredictable and aggressive style being the hallmark of his poker play. He has been sitting patiently, however, as the final is introduced, and now comes to collect his jewellery. Congratulations, Mr. Hansen.
