Erik Cajelais plays online at Full Tilt Poker.

Erik Cajelais started out playing poker with his older brother and a few friends "just for fun". As it turned out, he was pretty good. Having developed a passion for the game, he dedicated himself to honing his poker skills and on becoming a pro. Apparently, this tactic worked. Since officially coming onto the professional poker scene in 2005, Erik’s amassed an impressive list of tournament finishes.

For his pro debut, Erik made it to the final table at the WPT Borgata Poker Open’s $1,000 No-Limit Hold ‘em Championship. He finished eighth and took home over $11K. Erik followed this up with a solid cash finish in the 2005 WPT World Poker Finals. He went deep in the $10K No-Limit Hold ‘em event and walked away with more than $12K.

Erik made his first WSOP appearance in 2006 in the $5K No-Limit Hold ‘em event. From a starting field of over 600 players, he finished in 19th place for more than $14K. He rounded out ’06 with four more WPT cash finishes, including first place at the WPT Five Diamond Classic at the Bellagio. In addition to over $405K, he earned his first career WPT bracelet.

He continued to build upon an already impressive career in 2007 with several cash finishes, including two final tables at championship events, as well as a strong showing at the WSOP. Erik took second in the $5K Pot-Limit Omaha event, facing the likes of Team Full Tilt’s John Juanda at the final table. For his efforts he was rewarded with $483K.

Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Erik’s seriously into body building and cars. He also enjoys travelling and "the finer things in life". With his performance so far, it appears that he’ll be able to indulge in both of these at his leisure.

Whether it’s No-Limit Hold ‘em or Pot-Limit Omaha, you’ll regularly find Erik playing ring games as well as the occasional tournament. Look for him playing online at Full Tilt Poker.
