Throughout the late 2000s, Gus Hansen pioneered a loose-aggressive playing style that set him apart from his opponents and influenced a new generation of maniacal, bluff-happy poker players. The Great Dane is back in true form at the 2025 World Series of Poker (WSOP) and made Day 3 of the $10,000 Dealers Choice 6-Handed Championship with 14 players remaining.

Hansen spent much of the past decade out of the poker spotlight before playing in a low-stakes meet-up game at the 2023 WPT World Championship and later signing as a Winamax pro and making a deep run in the $10,000 Eight Game Mixed Championship at the 2024 WSOP.

The Danish poker legend told PokerNewshe will be playing a full slate of 15-20 WSOP events this summer, primarily limit mixed game events at the $10,000 buy-in level.

It was in such an event that PokerNewswitnessed Hansen play his signature aggressive style and pressure his opponents on the money bubble before chip leader Ryan Hoenig got moved to his immediate left.

"It feels very good," Hansen said in an interview on break on Day 2. "It would have been better if you had (done) the interview about 3-4 hands ago because I think I lost the last three or four to the big chip leader. But nonetheless, I have a good stack, I should survive the bubble, so it feels good to be here."

Hansen made the money and ended up bagging the shortest stack of the 14 remaining players, heading into today's Day 3 with at least $24,630 locked up.

"I Think There's a Lot of Aggressive Players Out There"

Hansen, a bracelet winner and author of 2008's Every Hand Revealed, isn't the only old-school pro to emerge this summer. Poker Hall of Famer Huck Seed popped up in an event after nearly a decade away from the WSOP, and he shared a wholesome embrace with his old pal Hansen.

"In the early to mid 90s, I used to stay at his place whenever I came to Vegas," Hansen said. "So he's a good friend of mine, a longtime friend. So it was good to see him again. We're all getting older, but he's still fit as can be ... He was looking good."

As the pioneer of a loose-aggressive style that made him a poker legend — and led to comparably legendary online poker losses — Hansen is now seeing the fruits of his labor in today's game as the chickens come home to check-raise.

"I think really a lot of people did," Hansen said when asked if younger poker players have adopted his playing style. "I was aggressive back then, then you had some Scandis that were super, super, super aggressive, and then it slowed down a little bit. But I think everybody is getting better at poker. You have more tools nowadays. You have training sites, etc."

"I think there's a lot of aggressive players out there."

Mixed Game Summer

While modern-day maniacs like Michael "Texas Mike" Moncek apply pressure in no-limit Hold'em fields, Hansen is taking his aggressive poker talents to the mixed game tables this summer.

"In no-limit hold'em, you have the very good experts that only play that game, and that's tough to compete (against) when I play like 10, 12, 15 different games. So I like the mixed events. I really do."
