Jesper Hougaard, aka KipsterDK, is not a stranger to tournament victory. The Danish poker pro has a WSOP bracelet and won the Poker Stars Sunday Million once before (April 2008). When he sat down to play this week, however, he was just one of 7,177 vying for the title.
The odds weren't exactly in his favor, but he overcame them and won the first-place prize again. This time, Hougaard earned $206,834 for his efforts.
