Body builder Erik Cajelais who, we imagine, was a very intimidating presence at the poker table, has captured his first bracelet last night when he defeated Mats Gavatin in the £2500 Pot Limit Omaha Hold’em event. He overcame a table that included Richard Gryko, Robin Keston and Men ‘The Master’ Nguyen on his way to the £104,677 first prize.
He has been close before when he came second in the $5000 PLO rebuy in 2007 and it was this that gave him the extra motivation to go the extra mile and do everything to win an event which he successfully did on September 23rd. Erik’s determination is an inspiration for would be winners at poker, you just have to keep trying and of course hold the right cards, but that’s what winning is about anyway isn’t it?
