"Did you have queens?" Jesper Hougaard asked an opponent after a recent hand. "I put you on queens."
Hougaard had put on the third pre-flop raise from the button, re-raising to 54,000 after an early-position player opened for 8,000 and a middle-position player bumped it to 22,500. Only the middle-position player called Hougaard's raise.
Both men checked a nine-high flop, 
. On the 
turn, Hougaard's opponent tried a bet of 75,000. Hougaard called that bet to the 
river. There his opponent checked and folded to a bet of 61,000.
Incidentally, after the hand and after Hougaard asked, Hougaard's opponent claimed to have folded ace-king. Hougaard now has 730,000 in chips.
