Hand #155-- Hougaard Wins a Huge Pot

Hougaard raised to 160,000 and Cody reraised to 480,000. Again Jesper beat Cody into the pot with a 1 million raise of his own, and after Cody asked how much Jesper had left he sat back and thought a bit. All the while looking at Hougaard, sitting ramrod straight with his hands in front of him, staring at Cody.

Slaubaugh finally chose to call, and the flop came {Q-Spades} {4-Spades} {7-Diamonds}. Cody checked, and Jesper bet 450,000, putting his chips into the pot with a THUMP. Throughout the hand Jesper radiated strength, aggression, menace. And in the end Slaubaugh laid his hand down.

Hand #153-- Hougaard

Jesper raised to 135,000 and Cody reraised to 410,000. Jesper beat him into the pot with a 1.15 million raise and Cody looked back at his cards several times before pushing them away.

Hand #150-- Hougaard

Cody raised to 160,000 and Jesper reraised to 500,000. Now it was Slaubaugh's turn to ask Hougaard how many chips HE had left. And it was also Cody's turn to muck and let Hougaard pick up the pot.

Hand #149-- Hougaard

Jesper limped on the button and Cody checked. The flop came {K-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {2-Diamonds}, Cody checked and Jesper bet 65,000. Slaubaugh called, and the {J-Spades} fell on the turn. Cody checked, Jesper bet 155,000, and Cody mucked.
