Will Joseph Cada be Youngest WSOP Champ?

Sunday November 8, 2009

The November Nine have played down to the final two men, a 46-year-old self-employed logger and a 21-year-old poker pro who will meet Monday to play heads up for the title. While many were rooting for Phil Ivey to be in the final two (and win it), it is pretty exciting that Joseph Cada at 21 is in a position to become the youngest ever World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, taking that honor away from last year's champ, Peter Eastgate, who was 22 when he won in 2008. According to WSOP president and commissioner, Jeffrey Pollack, it has already been a thrilling final table and promises to continue to be a great heads-up match: "To see Joe Cada go from about two million in chips to nearly 136 million in chips - and to watch Darvin Moon go from chip leader to short stack and back again - was truly astonishing. The heads-up competition is going to be outstanding." Cada goes into the final heads-up match as the chip leader with 135,950,000 while Darvin Moon will have with 58,850,000 in chips.
