Joseph Cada Winner At 2009 WSOP Main Event

Many came and went. The cards were dealt. Hands were won. Many perished. Over 4,600 players perished and last night, November 9th, 2009, only two remained, Darvin Moon and Joseph Cada. The 2 players had certainly earned their rights to be there. They both played outstanding poker to get this point.

Only you can actually stand up and become some of the immortal Main Event Champions. At approximately 1:30am, one stood, Joseph Cada. Joseph Cada is solely 21 and now a millionaire, taking home an implausible $8,546,435.00 for finishing First Place on this years 2009 WSOP Texas Hold’em Main Event.

This particular head’s up play was intriguing for both the spectators and the players. The 2 players were said to be wary of every other, knowing their styles over the past few months of play. Spectators were interested by the standard man, Darvin Moon, who had never played in a prime Event before, yet was the chip leader for nearly all of the event. Spectators were also mesmerized by the young stud, who only 21, played with such confidence and composure and too, was his first Main Event.

Moon started the night right down to only 58M in comparison to Cada’s 135M, but in a couple of first hands, Moon had caught up and somehow leveled the playing field between the 2. They rallied for approximately 3 hours, from side to side making a gift of the chip lead, however it all came right down to one hand.

They finally went all-in for the last time, Cada holding a couple of 9′s and Moon with QJ suited Diamonds. Cada had the chip lead by 50M, so if Moon was to hit, Cada would still be within the. board provided absolutely no help to Moon, not matching either of his over cards or perhaps a single diamond, simply throwing down two 7′s to make Cada’s hand even better. Joseph Cada had won, Moon an improbable run and still walked away with $5,182,928.00.

Joseph Cada is the youngest Main Event bracelet winner and how he played his tournament many speculate this will likely not be his last. He started this final table with 13M, quickly was forced to not up to 3M, and somehow came back to win all of it. A REALLY remarkable story and ambitious play by all November Nine players. Congratulations to Joseph Cada, 2009 WSOP Main Event Winner.
