A winner has been declared; Canadian Erik Cajelais won £104,677 and his first WSOP bracelet at the WSOP Europe Tour 2009 Final Table event. This was a tremendous victory for Cajelais, after coming in second in the 2007 World Series of Poker event where he was defeated by Burt Boutin. After the win Cajelais was all smiles “I had to do everything to win and today I played well and the cards came out my way.” I am sure we will be seeing more from this poker pro at future events.

Unfortunately, the all time poker legend and on-line poker entrepreneur, Howard Lederer finished in 9th place. Well, Howard has had his time with many wins and has two WSOP bracelets of his own to show for it. Congratulations to all the Final Table players that is quite an accomplishment.

Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta or better known by her stage name, Lady Gaga is an up and coming pop sensation. To date her most popular hit is a song called “Poker Face”, which was released in late 2008. The hit topped the charts in several countries and the video for the song has been nominated for the 2009 MTV video awards.

The video is very provocative and illustrates a connection between gambling and sexuality. Many scenes in the video show a strip poker game being played, while the players are flashing cool cards and unique poker chips . The lyrics of the song are of course about how men cannot read Gaga’s poker face. It is a little surprising that a song about poker has become such a huge success, but the music charts don’t lie.
