#3Denmark ranking

Gus Hansen is third on Denmark's all-time live money list with $10,653,412, and he got there the opposite way to Peter Eastgate above him: 74 recorded cashes, with a largest single score of $1,714,800 for finishing second in the $25,000 + 500 No Limit Hold'em Championship Event at the WPT World Championship in Las Vegas on 19 April 2008. No Dane in the top three has a smaller best cash relative to a bigger total. The Hendon Mob lists him 177th on the global all-time list in early October 2026 against a best-ever 11th, and 29th on its popularity ranking — higher than any other Danish player, and a reminder that fame and current form are different measurements. He is resident in Copenhagen.
