The Wits of DeWitt

Team PokerNews player Jesper Hougaard limps under the gun and Jason DeWitt calls next to him. The small blind calls and the big blind checks.

The flop is {2-Diamonds}{J-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} and it's checked to Hougaard, who bets 200. DeWitt calls and the blinds fold.

The turn is {5-Hearts} and Hougaard bets 625. DeWitt raises to 1,900 and Hoagaard calls.

The river is {6-Hearts} and Hougaard checks. DeWitt bets 2,100 and Hougaard says, "I wish you'd bet more!" He calls, but unfortunately for him, DeWitt shows {7-Spades}{5-Spades} and Hougaard mucks.

DeWitt is up to 31,000 and Hougaard is down to 16,000.
