What Happened Here?
The Evidence
- Erik Cajelais leaving the table
- a board reading
- Erik Seidel showing
- Howard Lederer sighing deeply and handing some chips over to Seidel
The Hypothesis
A three-way showdown, involving naturally some hot Erik-on-Erik action, had occurred just prior to us arriving at the table; Seidel's aces took the lot.
Conclusion
Cajelais is bust, Seidel is up to around 20,000 and Lederer is left with 12,500.
