 It was a storm at the poker table: it took only 63 hands to the lower number of players at the final table to five! After that we could witness a situation most of us dream about: an insanely hot run!
Final table started with Jesper Hougaard as a chip leader, and this time the pokergods were supporting him, as he managed to hold his chip lead to the very last moments of the tournament, winning $610,304 after outlasting 2,446 other players in the Event 36, a No-Limit Hold'em with a $1,500 buy-in!
Final table at the beginning:
Jesper Hougaard $1,582,000
Cody Slaubaugh $1,419,000
Danny Wong $1,105,000
Rick Solis $900,000
Justin Wald $873,000
Owen Crowe $674,000
Doug Middleton $356,000
John Shipley $269,000
Aaron Kanter $165,000
Jesper Hougaard was running hot as hell, increasing his chip lead over and over again on the final table, while getting it all-in preflop with worse hands:   against Wong's   was enough to eliminate the second player after flop brings..    ! His   was enough to send yet another player to the rail with   when a king falls on the river!
Going into heads-up Hougaard had Cody Slaubaugh completely crushed, holding 6,6mln chips against a tiny stack of 850,000 in front of Cody! Bring it on!
On the final hand was very much as expected: agressive preflop game from both players lead them all-in:  from Jesper against  . The flop immediately brings a queen:   , turn is a blank and Cody is drawing dead! This means Jesper Hougaard wins his first WSOP bracelet and some cash as well.

1. Jesper Hougaard $610,304
