Gus Hansen
Voted as the sexiest poker player in the world, Gus Hansen is known on and off the poker circuit. He started playing professional poker in 1997. Before poker, he was a junior tennis champion and thought of becoming professional backgammon player.
Along with Doyle Brunson and James Garner, they became the first players to be inducted into the WP Walk of Fame. He was inducted because of his unprecedented three wins in WPT open tournaments. Other notable wins include the 2002 Five Diamond World Poker Classic, 2003 Bad Boys of Poker, and the 2004 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure.
