Erik Cajelais Eliminated in 86th Place ($73,805)

Erik Cajelais (Day 5)
Erik Cajelais (Day 5)

Erik Cajelais open-shoved all in for his last 700,000 from early position and got a single caller in Jean Malherbe from the small blind. Cajelais turned over {10-Clubs}{10-Spades} and was looking for help versus Malherbe's {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {4-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{6-Clubs}, and Cajelais was still behind. Then the turn brought the {Q-Hearts}, giving Malherbe a set and making the river {3-Spades} a bit of trivia.
