Boutin is a well-respected cash game player and staple on the live tournament circuit. He outlasted 145 players, who rebought 421 times, to capture the top prize. He took home the first-place prize of $825,956, a WSOP bracelet, and some major bragging rights.
On a flop of A
8
2, Boutin bet and Cajelais raised $375,000. Boutin instantly reraised to $1 million and Cajelais pushed all in. Boutin insta-called and turned over A K Q 6
for top pair with the nut flush draw. Cajelais tabled 8
8 5 5, for middle set. Boutin looked intense as his crowd erupted, calling for a spade. The turn brought the 3, and Boutin raised his arms in triumph. He ran to his side of the arena and was enveloped by his friends and family. He emerged in time for the announcer to remind him that the hand wasn't over, and he could still lose if Cajelais made a full house. That wasn't the case, as the river was dealt the Q. Boutin once again raised his arms in celebration and the cheers were deafening. He took a $4.9 million to $760,000 chip lead at that point. He finished the job just five hands later.
J 5, Cajelais moved all in and Boudin called with A Q 8 7. Cajelais turned over A Q 10 3 and if the hand ended at that moment, they would have split the pot. That all changed when the turn brought the 7 , which gave Boutin two pair. It seemed the poker gods wanted Boutin to win this one and the river came the 4.
