Hand #155-- Hougaard Wins a Huge Pot

[user37786]

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}

. 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.
