Hougaard Climbing Again

For all of the small ball that's going on right now, there are some players that are turning up the heat. Jesper Hougaard was in the big blind in a recent hand and called a raise to 10,000 made by the cutoff player. Hougaard bet 16,000 on a jack-high flop, {j-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}. When his opponent raised to 41,000, Hougaard made the call and stuck around to the {10-Hearts} turn. He checked, inducing a bet of 45,000 from his opponent. Hougaard then moved all in, effectively making the raise back to his opponent a total of 220,000. That player decided to find a better spot and folded.

Hougaard is back up to about 800,000 in chips.
