Monster Pot Absorbed Into Hougaard's Stack

Jesper Hougaard - the rich get richer
Jesper Hougaard - the rich get richer
In the closing minutes of the level, neighbors Fuad Serhan and Jesper Hougaard tangled in a big pot. Serhan raised to 16,000 preflop, called by an in-position Hougaard. On the flop of {2-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts} Serhan bet out 19,000, again flat-called by Hougaard.

Turn was the {3-Spades}. Now the bet was 25,000 -- called.

River was the {10-Hearts}. Checked to Hougaard, who announced, "All in," moving in his stack of red 5,000 chips as a symbolic gesture on behalf of his ludicrous towers. Serhan declined to call off the rest of his stack, and was shown the {J-Spades} for his trouble.
