Tardea Takes One from Hougaard

Christian Tardea opened to 5,600 from middle position and Jesper Hougaard made it 15,200 from the hijack.

Tardea made the call before checking the {K-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flop to Hougaard, who opted to fire with a 13,500-chip bet. Tardea made the call and when the {5-Diamonds} landed on the turn, he checked the action once more.

Hougaard sat in the tank for near on four minutes before cutting down a bet amounting to 43,000. Tardea made the call and both players checked the {3-Spades} on the river.

Tardea tabled his {A-Spades}{K-Spades} for a flopped set of trips, and the pot, as he climbed to 495,000 while Hougaard slips to 359,000 in chips.
