Joe Cada wins 2009 WSOP Main Event
- 11-10-2009
21 year old Joe Cada is the new WSOP Main Event Champion after beating Darvin Moon in the heads-up play early Tuesday morning. The Heads up play began on Monday night at the Rio All Suite Hotel and Casino with Cada leading the chip count with 135,950,00 vs. Darvin Moon's 58,850,000 stack.
However, Cada's chip advantage was cut on the very first hand of the heads up play, when Moon's pocket Queens bested Cada's pocket 9's. Moon, who never lost his play during the heads up, reverted the situation, taking the chip lead after 11 hands. Moon kept betting aggressively before and after the first break, winning 14 of the first 21 hands after the break and taking a 96-million chip lead over Cada.
Cada decided to put a stop in Moon's momentum, betting 3 million on the pre flop and getting called by Moon. The flop came 10-5-9 and both players checked. With a 10 on the Turn, Cada bet another 3 million and was immediately re-raised by Moon, who moved all in. After a few minutes analyzing his chances, Cada called, revealing J-9 vs Moon's 7-8. The river was a three of hearths, giving Cada the lead with about 108 million in chips.
Cada's final punch came on the 88th hand and only eight hands after he regained the chip lead. In the final hand, Cada made a 3 million bet on the Pre Flop and was re raised by Moon to 8 million. Cada took a moment to check his cards and re raised All In. Moon made the call and the race was on. Cada once again revealed pocket 9's and Moon showed Q-J. The flop of 8c-2c-7s. A king of hearts came on the turn, and the seven of clubs came on the river, giving Cada two pair and his first World Series of Poker Championship Bracelet.
Both players were congratulated by World Series of Poker commissioner Jeffrey Pollack, who awarded the WSOP Main Event bracelet and presented the $8,547,042 first prize to the twenty-one year old Cada.
