It looks like taking a break for the night with five players left in Event No. 2 - £2,500 Pot Limit Hold’em/Omaha - of the 2009 WSOP Europe was the correct decision for poker pro Erik Cajelais. After starting the day as the second-shortest stack, he went on to dispatch every single player left at the final table on his way to capturing a WSOP bracelet and the £104,677 first-place prize.

Richard Gryko was the first to be sent packing by Cajelais followed closely by Men "The Master" Nguyen in fourth place. Then Robin Keston fell victim to Cajelais sick run of cards, leaving only Mats Gavatin to face down the French Canadian, but he was unable to overcome Cajelais' chip lead and finished in second for £64,705. This is the second WSOP final table and first WSOP bracelet for Cajelais.

In other WSOPE news, Event No. 3 - £5,000 Pot Limit Omaha - has just broken for dinner with 14 players remaining. Among those still in the hunt for the £204,048 first place prize include poker pros Howard Lederer, Robert Williamson III, Ross Boatman, Jeff Kimber and the newly short-stacked Tom "durrrr" Dwan. Stay tuned for more updates from this event as we work our way up to the 2009 WSOP Europe Main Event.
