Joe Cada, is this year’s Main Event winner of the World Series Of Poker. By winning he also broke last year’s winner Peter Eastgate (22) record for the Youngest WSOP Winner ever with his 21 years.
Together with the $8.547.042 prize money he won his very first Bracelet.
In the 3 hours heads-up session against Darvin Moon he proved to be the better one. He had a big advantage at the start with his 135.950.000 chips against Moon’s 58.850.000 chips but it proved to be a tight game.
The last and winning hand #364:
Cada: 9s9c
Moon: QdJd
Cada raises pre-flop to 3 million from the button, Moon think’s about the bet and re-raises to 8 million chips. Cada looks at his cards 2 times and decides to go All-In. Moon does the same and call’s the All-in risking his tournament.
The crowd is going wild. Dealer flops: 8c 2c 7s. Cada is still in the lead and only 2 cards away from WSOP 2009 victory.
On the Turn the dealer draw’s a Kh, still no help for Moon who senses his tournament is over with only 6 outs left.
When the dealer turns a 7c on the River, the crowd is ecstatic. Moon congratulates Cada with his winning and takes home the $5.182.928. 2nd prize price money. Not bad for a logger from the state of Maryland. Moon said that he initially was thinking about cashing his Main Event seat which he had won. A good thing he didn’t

Cada self is a young professional poker player who quit school to play pro. His parents were against his decision, but after they saw how good their son was at it, they came back on their decision and gave him their full support.
Cada made the good choice and is living the dream.
