Hougaard Halted by Chuprinskaia
The player in the under-the-gun position called, so did Nico Scheer in the early position, Reinhard Meusburger in mid-position, and the players in the lojack and hijack. Natalia Chuprinskaia in the cutoff raised to 2,000, and action folded to Jesper Hougaard in the big blind who contemplated for a while and then three-bet to 5,400. Action folded to Chuprinskaia who was considering her options.
"That's just scary!" she said and then laughed.
"I didn't mean to scare you, sorry," Hougaard replied.
"How much have you got left?" Chuprinskaia asked Hougaard.
"About thirty-five," Hougaard confirmed and then added: "I might still fold it if you shove."
Chuprinskaia smiled and then decided to put 12,000 over the line to put Hougaard all-in. Hougaard took a few seconds before making the call.
Jesper Hougaard: 
Natalia Chuprinskaia: 
The board ran out 
for Chuprinskaia to hit the ace on the turn to send Hougaard away from the tables.
Hougaard can still reenter later today or on Day 1B or 1C so might be back.
