		Player Bio
		Thor Hansen Thor Hansen was born in Oslo, Norway in 1947 and now lives with his wife in El Segundo, California. Thor Hansen began playing poker in the pack room of his family's grocery store where he used to sit in for his father and brother when he was only about eight years old. Thor took to poker naturally, with a sharp mathematical mind that was put to work adding up sale items in the grocery store during the day. Hansen left school at the tender age of 13 to work in a hotel, but realized that he always made more money playing poker and pool. Eventually, Thor took on pool professionally in his 20's but decided he could make more money if he focused on poker. Thor is a successful high stakes cash games player and can be found playing with Larry Flint and Jerry Buss at the Hustler Casino in L.A. Thor Hansen is an accomplished tournament poker player with career earnings around $1,000,000 and two WSOP bracelets to his name. Hansen's two WSOP bracelets came in the events of Seven Card Stud (1988) and Ace to Five Lowball (2002) with combined winnings totaling $220,600. Some of Thor Hansen's other achievements in tournament poker include: 2nd place in the 2000 WSOP Omaha Limit event worth $42,900, 1st place in the 2004 L.A. Poker Classic Limit Hold 'em event collecting $139,830, and 1st place in the 2004 Five-Diamond World Poker Classic Seven Card event taking home $64,018. Recently, Thor Hansen came close to capturing his third gold bracelet at the 2005 WSOP $1,000 No Limit Hold 'em event taking 3rd place and $55,790 in prize money.
