The Danish top winner of the World Series Of Poker 2008, Jesper “Kipster” Hougaard, has been injured in a traffic accident in Thailand.
According to the sports website www.bold.dk/poker, the Dane was on vacation on Phuket when he crashed with a motorcycle. The website has talked to his brother Lars Hougaard who says “Kipster” was operated for a fractured shoulder on Thursday.
“He didn’t wear a crash helmet, so he was under the circumstances very lucky that he didn’t get a fractured skull,” Lars Hougaard says.
