Jumping Jesper

A player in the hijack seat opened for 6,500, and Jesper Hougaard called from the button.

The flop came {9-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}. The preflop raiser bet 11,000, and after a half-minute or so Hougaard made the call. The turn brought the {Q-Clubs}, pairing the board. This time the player in the hijack seat checked, and Hougaard bet 16,000. His opponent called.

The river brought the {10-Diamonds} and another check from Hougaard's opponent. Hougaard -- who won bracelets at both the WSOP and the WSOPE in 2008 -- quickly fired out a bet of 24,000, and his opponent folded.

Hougaard jumps up a bit more to 515,000.
