Jesper Hougaard Wins 2008 WSOP Event #36
Another day at the 2008 WSOP and we have another $1,500 NLHE winner. This time it's Jesper Hougaard going home with the cash and gold bracelet. Hougaard came to the final table as the chip leader then slipped behind and appeared to have run out of luck; but, after the dinner break he was once again determined to take down the win. The chips began moving back across the table from Cody Slaubaugh until finally Hougaard had Slaubaugh all-in. The flop gave Hougaard a set of Queens and the turn card sealed the win. Along with the bracelet Jesper Hougaard collected $610,304.
Cody Slaubaugh collects $389,128 for second place and Aaron Kanter goes away with $258,862 in cash for second place.
Congratulations to Jesper Hougaard for winning WSOP event #36 and collecting his first WSOP bracelet.
