Gus has had deals with both Full Tilt Poker 1.0 and Full Tilt Poker 2.0, so he wouldn't really be able to step away from the tables even if he wanted to. As a representative of the site, Hansen likely has to log a minimum number of hands on Full Tilt Poker every month.
This has been good news for the rest of the high stakes cash game community as Hansen has donated over $20 million over the past 7 1/2 years, and this assault on the wallet of the "Great Dane" doesn't seem to be slowing anytime soon.
