Casper Hansen Wins the WPT Spanish Championship

Final Hand - Season 7 WPT Spanish Championship

Hand #128 - Casper Hansen has the button, he completes to 60,000, Mattsson raises to 205,000, Hansen moves all in, and Mattsson calls with A9. Hansen shows A2, and he'll need to improve to win the tournament here.

The flop comes 552, and Hansen takes the lead with a pair of deuces. The turn is the J, and Mattsson needs an ace or a jack to chop, or a nine to win.

The river card is the K, and Casper Hansen wins the pot -- and the tournament -- with two pair, fives and deuces.

Stefan Mattsson finishes in second place, earning 220,000 € ($346,621).

Hougaard becomes first WSOP and WSOPE bracelet winner

It was a great start to the second World Series of Poker Europe with a record 410 players buying in for WSOPE Event 1 (WSOP Event 56), a £1,500 no-limit hold 'em event, the largest poker tournament ever held in London. The first event attracted many of poker's biggest players including Daniel Negreanu, Phil Ivey, Phil Hellmuth and five members of the November Nine.

Even after a year in between events, the story at WSOPE continues to be the domination of European players on their home turf. For the fourth consecutive tournament, a European would claim a WSOPE bracelet, but in this case, the victory was very significant.

Jesper Hougaard, a 24-year-old professional poker player from Copenhagen, Denmark, became the first player to win a bracelet both in Las Vegas and in London. After winning Event 36 on June 19 and WSOPE Event 1, Hougaard is now considered the second double-bracelet winner of the year, sharing that honor with John Phan. He now has five lifetime cashes for $920,488.

WSOP: Jesper Hougaard Wins Event No. 36

Hougaard Prevails in the $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em Event with his Aggressive Style

Jesper Hougaard proved to the world once again that when an aggressive player from Denmark is at a final table, every other player at the table should take notice. Hougaard was inspired to play more poker when he first saw Gus Hansen dominate on the World Poker Tour a few years ago. Now Hougaard owns something that Hansen does not, a World Series of Poker gold bracelet. Hougaard defeated a huge field of 2,447 in a $1,500 no-limit hold'em event to win $610,304. He dominated play at every stretch of the final table, but his toughest challenge came heads up. Cody Slaubaugh stole the chip lead from him just before the dinner break, but dinner was just what the doctor ordered for Hougaard. He regained the the upper hand after the break and slammed the door shut on Slaubaugh shortly thereafter to win his first bracelet.
