That was a modification of the classic "Stop and go". Nh Gus!
Stop and Go: When out of position in a tourney with effective short stacks and facing a preflop raise (or 3bet), you call and shove any flop.
I'm suprised Ivey didn't shove or call down since he was so short. (I'm assuming blinds were 20k/40k and that Ivey raised pot but I might be wrong about this.)

that hand was a joke. Either of them could have won it. Ivey could have easily shoved over the top of gus on that particular flop (and should have, it is gus after all, he's weak most of the time). The turn bluff by Gus was kind of obvious since he picked up the heart draw and had such a monstrous stack anyway so he wouldn't be risking much.

Now that is what i call thinking outside the box. Understanding the game perfectly (structure, odds, psychology) and acting accordingly. The cards are the most unimportant thing in a poker game.
Congrats Gus for this exhibition.
Gus Hansen is an awesome player. People don't base your entire opinions of him on this. He can switch up his strategy. For this tournament it was do or die. He had to play all-in every hand style. This a good quote for poker "In doesn't matter where you place only 1st gets the money." Congrats Gus for this exhibition.
Nnegreanu laughed out so loud when that queen came out on the flop
