Bjorin Catches Hougaard

We picked up the action on a flop of {8-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Chris Bjorin had pushed the last of his stack in the middle, and the dealer was counting them out as Jesper Hougaard contemplated whether or not to call.

"You got one pair beat?" he asked. Bjorin offered nothing. Hougaard made the call. Total pot about 50,000.

Hougaard showed {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{A-Spades}{K-Spades} for the overpair. Bjorin showed {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Spades}{10-Clubs} -- a pair and a flush draw.

"Clubs!" said Hougaard. The turn was the {9-Clubs}.

The river was the {4-Hearts}, giving Bjorin his flush and the pot. Now he and Hougaard are about even in chips, each with about 50,000.
