Coren Eliminated by King-High

As my British colleague danafish might say, "Oh dear." The day has come to a tragic end for Vicky Coren at the massive, tattooed guns of Erik Cajelais. Coren opened for 1,100 from middle position and was called by a player in late position and Cajelais from the small blind. Cajelais checked the {9-Spades}

flop to Coren, who bet 2,500. That bet folded the third player and brought the action back to Cajelais.

After considering his options, Cajelais check-raised to 8,000. Coren moved all in and Cajelais called!

Coren: {7-Spades}

Cajelais:

Both players had decided to gamble on draws. Coren's problem was that half of her draw was no good, losing to Cajelais' bigger spade draw. In the end, both missed. The turn {Q-Clubs}

and river

hit neither, allowing Cajelais to take down the pot by playing the board pair of eights with his king kicker.

After that stunning hand, Cajelais is leading the tournament with 57,000 chips.
