Danish poker player, Jesper Hougaard has been making waves within the industry as he cleaned up at both the 2008 World Series of Poker and World Series of Poker Europe. Hougaard came to public attention with his stunning performance in Las Vegas earlier this summer and has now further proved himself in London.
The twenty-four year old established himself with a bracelet at the World Series of Poker in Vegas, taking first place in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold ‘Em tournament and walking away with a $610,304 cash-out. Hougaard is sponsored by popular UK gambling business, Bet365 who are obviously pleased with the performance of their rising star. At the World Series of Poker Europe finals (held in Leicester Square, London) the gambler was also able to make a significant mark in the proceedings, winning first place at the £1,500 No-Limit Hold ‘Em tournament and adding £144,218 to his bankroll. Having won two bracelets on each side of the Atlantic within such a short period of time, Hougaard seems to be a player worth following in the future.
Jesper Hougaard will be the player to watch out for in the coming years, especially considering his fantastic performances and youth. Bet365 is set to continue featuring the Dane in high-profile events and sponsorships throughout the year, both online and off.
