Hougaard Hits the Rail

Jesper Hougaard won't be back tomorrow
Jesper Hougaard won't be back tomorrow
Shortly after taking control of the match with a well-timed double up, Allen Cunningham sent Jesper Hougaard to the rail when he re-raised the Scandi pro all in preflop.

Hougaard put his chips at risk with {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and found himself just slightly behind Cunningham's {A-Hearts}{2-Hearts}. The flop of {4-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{6-Spades} provided no help for Hougaard and the {10-Hearts} on the turn limited his outs as Cunningham picked up the nut flush draw. The river brought the {9-Diamonds} and send Hougaard packing while Cunningham advances to Day 2.
