Main Event Champ Check-In
Last time we took a look at 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event champion Joe Cada's chip stack it was hurting. However, in the meantime it seems that Cada was able to find a double up.
We found him as the second player to a call a raise to 1,200 while he was in the big blind. The flop came 
and Cada checked. The original raiser fired out 2,500 and the other player in the hand made it 6,500 to go. Cada looked at his cards several times before mucking the hand.
While he may not have won this pot, he is now sitting on a solid stack of 11,500.
On the other side of the Brasilia room, we found 2007 WSOP Main Event champion Jerry Yang looking down at a board of 
. Yang put out a check-raise to 5,000 after his opponent bet 1,500.
His opponent replied by announcing that he was all in and Yang heaved a large sigh. Yang stacked his chips and pushed them into the middle. He tabled 
and stared at his opponent, waiting for his opponent to show his cards.
His opponent flipped up
and was ahead. The board finished with the 
and the 
and just like that Yang was sent packing.

Break it Down
Level 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
Players are currently on a 20-minute break.
Erik Cajelais Killing Day 1
Level 8
: 200/400, 50 ante
Erik Cajelais has been a massive force throughout the entirety of Day 1, and his current stack of 50,000 is one of the biggest in the room. Cajelais may not be a household name, but he certainly has collected many poker accolades that have helped to establish his place in the poker world.
Cajelais burst onto the poker scene with his first cash at the World Series of Poker in 2006 finishing 19th in a $5,000 No Limit Hold'em event. Since then Cajelais has been able to score several notable finishes in WSOP events. In 2007 Cajelais finished in second place in a $5,000 Pot Limit Omaha event. Cajelais most noteworthy finish, however, came at the 2009 World Series of Poker Europe where he won Event 2 - £2,500 Pot Limit Hold'em/Omaha.
Cajelais is a force to be reckoned with and those at his table are surely fearing not only his massive tattooed guns, but also his massive chip stack.
