Event 36 - Hous Zat!?! 1 year ago

And it's all over! Jesper Housgaard managed a marvelous comeback after that one hour dinner break. Through a combination of aggression and being dealt a few good cards at the right time, Housgaard managed to break Cody Slaubaugh's heart and take the bracelet.

The final hand was a nasty one for the latter, Cody raised to $150,000 and Jesper made it $500,000, having started to re-raise preflop a lot. Cody then made it $1,300,000 and Jesper moved in. Cody made the call and Jesper had him covered by just $25,000, a single green chip.

Cody: Ad Th

Jesper: Qs Qd

The board pretty much left the young American drawing dead on the flop, coming Qh 2c 8d before the 5h left him dead on the turn and the Ah was too little, too late.

Slaubaugh did get a consolation in the form of $389,128 while Housgaard will be more than happy with the $610,304 he receives.

Event 36 - An Impromptu Break 1 year ago

And just as this heads-up got interesting, we've gone on to a break. Hougaard though will be the happier of the two as he's contrived to go from having a 7:1 chip lead, all the way down to being the 2:1 dog. And here's how it happened...

Quick Double

The very first hand Cody Slaugbaugh raised preflop and Hougaard moved all-in. Slaugbaugh called with A-T and found himself dominating Hougaard's Q-T. The board ran out 7-7-K-K-5 and Slaughbaugh had quickly climbed the first rung of a big ladder.

No Fear

Soon after, Slaugbaugh raised to $125,000 preflop and Hougaard made it $320,000. Slaugbaugh called before moving all-in over the top of his opponent's $375,000 bet. Hougaard passed an ace face up and Slaugbaugh showed his Q-9.

All Cody

Slaugbaugh raises preflop and Hougaard made the call. Both players checked the 8-7-3 flop, before Hougaard bet $200,000 on the 9 turn. Slaugbaugh called and then fired $350,000 on the jack river, his opponent called with J-9 for two pair, but Slaugbaugh had rivered his straight with K-T.

Cody Again

Slaugbaugh re-raised preflop before firing on the A-Q-7 flop, Hougaard made the call and both checked the second queen on the turn. The river was a 4 to give a A-Q-7-Q-4, and Cody checked again, Hougaard fired out $650,000 and Cody quickly called with A-T. Hougaard mucked and suddenly, from being 7:1 down. Cody Slaugbaugh is in charge here.
