Hand #125-- Jesper Hougaard

Cody limped from the button and the blinds called and the flop came {6-Hearts} {9-Clubs} {J-Spades}. Kanter checked, Cody bet 85,000 and Jesper raised to a healthy 600,000. Kanter and Slaubaugh folded and Hougaard seized another pot, showing a jack before mucking.

Hand #124-- Danny Wong Has Been Eliminated (4th Place, $217,110)

Kanter raised under the gun to 130,000 and Wong moved all in from the small blind for 380,000. Hougaard stood up from his seat and asked for a count (natch) before moving all in himself. Kanter mucked and Wong's {K-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} led Hougaard's {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}.

That is, until the flop came {10-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {6-Hearts}, giving Jesper the nut flush. Everyone was so surprised that it took Hougaard's friends a few seconds before they started cheering. The board ran out {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades} and Danny Wong is our fourth-place finisher.

Hand #122-- Cody Slaubaugh

Hougaard raised to 125,000 from the button and Cody Slaubaugh counted down his stack in the big blind and reraised to 420,000 total. That left Cody with about 425,000 behind and Jesper with a decision. He riffled his chips while Cody sat with his arms criss-crossed and his chin tucked against his wrists.

Jesper finally decided to fold, and Slaubaugh took the pot. Jesper asked what he had and Cody laughed and said, "I'll tell you later."
