Is it fair to assume that Gus either finishes very well in a tournament or bombs out early? Thats what i would think due to his aggressive style of play. He must take a few risks early to build a stack, then intimidate others with junk hands etc. If he makes it to a final table, he's usually the chip leader or close enough. You never see him just limping in as the short-stack. In other words, his tournament record is probably inconsistent unlike someone like Phil Ivey who consistently makes final tables even if he doesnt win many. So i think he gets lucky more often than most to win the handful of titles he has. It's all or nothing for Gus.
