The Great Dane was sporting a great moustache in a rare appearance at the tables last week.

One player seemingly even more elusive than Tom Dwan and Phil Ivey at the nosebleed stakes these days is Gus Hansen.

He stopped playing the biggest games online last year after famously being the biggest online loser of all time, with $20,737,007 in recorded losses.

Since then he returned to his native Denmark and was rumoured to be quitting poker altogether. However, he has last week been spotted at the tables:

Could this be the start of the comeback for the Great Dane? Live poker, especially tournament poker, is something he has always excelled in. The online games are much quieter these days (in part because he isn't in them) so maybe we will see him back doing what he did very well on his day.

In the very same game last week Daniel Negreanu revealed on his blog that he lost $436,000 playing the 'prop' games (where the players bet on the next card dealt) we were so used to seeing on shows like High Stakes Poker. It looks like the action might be getting lively again in the big games in Vegas.

Is this the start of the great Gus comeback? Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
