In a not so long ago interview, Hansen said that he is really happy being part of the FullTilt team.

After his small career with Pokerchamps, it became apparent that continuing working in a site is better. We did not have the money or the number of persons to run a big time organization, so we decided to sell the site at the perfect timing. I was workning by myself for a while and Full Tilt approached me with a great offer. They said they have got some great players who are close to me. I came from Scandinavia, so I built quite a handful of good connections as I compose articles for newspapers. I hope Full Tilt will be venturing in the European market soon because it will be beneficial for both parties.
