A Cajelais Story

Late in play yesterday, it appeared as though a short-stacked Erik Cajelias was all in preflop with {9-}{9-} against an opponent’s {2-}{3-} and doubled up to around 4,500. We didn’t catch what he ended the day with but were shocked to see that the chip counts had him starting today at 87,000! So before play started, we ventured over to his table to check his bag and there must have been some sort of error because he only had 8,700.

Anyways, Cajelais is certainly making a push towards that 87,000 now. We caught up with the action on a {Q-Spades}{9-Spades}{6-Spades} flop where Cajelias got check-raised by his opponent who was UTG. Cajelais made it three bets and the player called. On the {8-Spades} turn, UTG bet and Cajelais just called. But when the {3-Clubs} hit the river, Cajelias re-raised his opponent’s bet and the player made the call. Cajelais turned over {A-Spades}{Q-Hearts} for an ace-high flush while his opponent had next best with {K-Spades}{J-Clubs} for a king-high flush.
