The World Poker Tour

L.A. Poker Classic - Season 1 - Feb 24, 2003

The final table at the L.A. Poker Classic proved that Gus Hansen was no flash in the pan. Under the bright lights at the set of the final table at the Commerce Casino “The Great Dane” would take down his second World Poker Tour title of the inaugural season.

The final table of this $10,000 buy in event was held on February 24th 2003. 136 players entered the field creating a prize pool of over $1.3 million dollars. Sitting down to battle Hansen stood Andy Bloch, David “The Dragon” Pham, Daniel Rentzer, Steve Shkolnik, and Bob Stupak.

Hansen surprised no one when he continued his ultra aggressive style at this final table. He attacked weakness relentlessly when ever he saw the opportunity and was able to take down another title earning $507,000. Combined with his previous win at the Five Diamond Classic earlier in the season, Hansen became the first player to earn over one million dollars in World Poker Tour history.
