Jesper Hougaard's Stack Dented

The UTG player opened for 900 and from middle position, Jesper Hougaard put in a reraise to 3,000. Though his move was met with folds from the rest of the table, the UTG player shoved the rest of his stack into the middle, eliciting an agonized look from Hougaard. Ultimately he called the additional 6,125, and discovered his {A-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} was dominated by {A-Spades} {K-Spades}. No help for Hougaard on the {A-Clubs} {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} {10-Hearts} {7-Hearts} board and Hougaard saw his once-mighty stack shrink to 10,300.
