The midweek saw plenty of high-stakes action take place on Full Tilt Poker. Gus Hansen got back on track after a horrendous Monday by building some momentum on the pot-limit Omaha tables. Meanwhile, the “XWINK” saga briefly continued on Thursday when he battled Andreas 'skjervoy' Torbergsen on the $200/$400 pot-limit Omaha tables. Check out the highlights.

Hansen Hits His Stride

On Monday, Hansen played a session of $1500/$3000 2-7 triple draw heads-up on Full Tilt Poker against 'O Fortuna PLS'. Hansen, who has been on fire in 2011, didn’t fare so well, dropping around $560,000 in 1,100 hands. Luckily, Hansen was able to recoup some of those losses on Tuesday at the $500/$1000 PLO tables where he won $260,000, 88 percent of which came from Cole South.

Hansen took that momentum into Wednesday when he faced off against some PLO regulars. Over 36 hours, Hansen was up $520,000 while others were left in his dust. In fact, some heavy hitters, including Scott 'URnotINdanger2' Palmer (-$150,000), Rami 'Arbianight' Boukai (-$240,000), and Torbergsen (-$140,000) all wound up losers in the same period.

Small Flush for Hansen Gets It Done

In one of Hansen’s biggest hands, Torbergsen ($210,980) raised to $2,000 on the button and Hansen reraised to $6,000 from the big blind. Torbergsen made the call and the two watched the flop fall , which inspired Hansen to check-call a bet of $7,000. When the hit the turn, Hansen checked-called Torbergsen’s $15,000 bet and the peeled off on the river.

Once again Hansen opted for a check, which opened the door for another Torbergsen bet, which he made to the tune of $44,500. Hansen made the call and Torbergsen rolled over for just a pair of deuces. Hansen revealed his flush and took down the pot worth $145,000.

Torbergsen’s Aces Hold

Not all things went Hansen’s way in his match with Torbergsen. In another hand, Hansen ($62,496) was on the button and raised to $3,000 only to have Torbergsen ($237,493) reraise to $9,000. The raising war didn’t stop there as Hansen made it $27,000, Torbergsen popped it to $81,000, and Hansen called off his remaining $35,496.

Hansen:
Torbergsen:

The entire board was run twice with the first coming followed by the on the second. Torbergsen’s aces held on both runs to scoop the entire $124,991 pot.

Hansen Gets the Last Laugh

Hansen ($53,877.50) wasn’t done there. Not long after, he raised to $3,000 on the button and then called Torbergsen’s ($146,112) reraise to $9,000. When the flop came down , Torbergsen checked, Hansen bet $8,000, and Torbergsen check-raised to $16,000. Hansen went ahead and made it $24,000, Torbergsen fired out $106,000, and Hansen called off his remaining $21,377.50.

Torbergsen:
Hansen:

Both players had flopped a straight, but Hansen’s was bigger with a flush draw to boot. The turn and river were both run twice, but neither the and on the first run nor the and on the second, changed a thing, giving Hansen the $123,755 pot.

Torbergsen’s Bad Run Continues Against XWINK

On Thursday, XWINK was back in action against Torbergsen. In one of their more notable hands, XWINK ($46,395) raised to $800 on the button and Torbergsen ($104,703) called from the big blind. When the was put out on the flop, Torbergsen checked, XWINK bet $1,200, Torbergsen check-raised to $4,000, XWINK reraised to $13,600, Torbergsen four-bet to $46,400, and XWINK called off for a total of $45,595.

Torbergsen:
XWINK:

There was $92,790 in the pot, and XWINK was ahead with his set, but Torbergsen had flush-draw hopes. As usual, the turn and river were run twice with the first bringing the and . XWINK’s set held up to ensure half the pot, which was followed by the other half being pushed his way when the and appeared on the second run.
