The results are in! Joe Cada is the new king of poker.
Darvin Moon called his all-in wager with a suited queen-jack, setting up an about-even race for most of the chips on the table. But a board of two sevens, a king, an eight and a deuce didn’t connect with either player’s cards and gave Cada the win.
Joseph Cada did not only win $8.55 million, he also broke the record for the tournament’s youngest winner set last year by Peter Eastgate of Denmark. The record was previously held for two decades by 11-time gold bracelet winner Phil Hellmuth, who posed for pictures with Cada after the win.
Would love to watch something between Cada and Saout actually. Maybe someone has a clip? Post a link to it here if so?
Man this world series was a bit of a letdown to me. Seeing Cada and Moon suck out so many times on the turn and the river – even before they were heads up was unfortunate. How many times did Cada hit a 2 outer to stay alive?
I know you need to run super hot to win and I guess that’s what those 2 did, run god like hot and it got them there. Back at our home game we keep it simple on a card table my friend bought from http://www.foldingcardtables.net – we love pretending we’re big shots!
