Expect the nosebleed games to get busy again as the Great Dane is back playing on PokerStars.

Gus earlier this month in Vegas

Earlier this month Gus Hansen was spotted playing in Las Vegas which led to speculation that we might see him again at the online felt after a very long absence.

Many felt that given he is the biggest recorded losing player in online poker history, with $20,737,007 in losses on his Full Tilt account, that he had retired from the online game.

Since he was last spotted online Full Tilt not only got rid of nosebleed games but also merged traffic with PokerStars. This week he has been spotted playing under his PokerStars account with the 'broksi' username (which at the time of writing is down $1.39 million lifetime).

Thus far he appears to be mostly playing $200/$400 and $300/$600 Limit Omaha Hi/Lo and Triple Draw games.

2016 has been a much quieter year for the high stakes online games and right now there are no tracked players to be either up or down seven-figures (Although Ben Sulsky is up around $961,644). If there is one thing that seems certain is that a Gus Hansen presence at the online tables will increase the action and we may well see the start of some very big games again if he sticks around.

Are you glad to see Gus back or should he avoid the online nosebleeds (and maybe poker entirely)? Let us know in the comments.
