Cue the "Ooba Ooba" Song

Jesper Hougaard should be a familiar name to poker fans as he not only won two bracelets at the 2008 WSOP (one in Las Vegas and one in London), but he got a good amount of face time on ESPN's 2009 "November Nine" broadcast, leading a rowdy group of his fellow Danes in a chorus of the nonsensical "Ooba Ooba" song each time their countryman Peter Eastgate took down a pot.

In a pot worthy of his own serenade, the action was folded around to the button, who opened for 10,000. The small blind flat-called and Hougaard three-bet to 36,000. The button folded and the small blind called. The small blind checked the {Q-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Hearts} flop over to Hougaard, who bet 30,000. The small blind called and they went to the turn, which fell the {10-Spades}. Both players checked. The river was the {9-Clubs} and the small blind check-called Hougaard's 62,000 bet.

Hougaard turned over {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds} for two pair queens and sevens and took down the pot. He's up to a very healthy 680,000.
