A Little Dig at Hougaard

[user75032]

One of the players at Jesper Hougaard's table must have been reading up on Hougaard's Day 1 progress in the tournament last night after play concluded. Hougaard took the chip lead late by hitting a very thin draw. As we reported yesterday,

"After a flop of Jesper Hougaard bet out 7,200 and was raised by his opponent to 23,200. Jesper reraised pot and his opponent called all in.

Hougaard:
Opponent:

Drawing very thin in this now 200,000 pot, Hougaard hit a miracle on the turn to make his straight. The board failed to pair on the river when the hit and Hougaard took the biggest pot of the day thus far."

Hougaard's table-mate today couldn't resist a dig.

"Was that hand you doubled up on last night reported correctly?" he asked. Hougaard responded that it was.

"You just had ace-king-queen?" Hougaard's opponent asked skeptically. Again, Hougaard grinned sheepishly and responded that it was, but then added that if he had lost the hand he still would have had about 100,000 chips.
