PPA congratulates WSOP champ Cada 11 November 2009 WASHINGTON, D.C. — (PRESS RELEASE) — The Poker Players Alliance (PPA), the leading poker grassroots advocacy group with more than one million members nationwide, today congratulated 21-year old Joe Cada on winning the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event. Cada, a vocal supporter of the PPA and protecting poker players’ rights, is the youngest Main Event champion. “On behalf of PPA members, I congratulate Joe on his historic WSOP win and thank him for being such a strong advocate for the game, especially online poker,” said former Senator Alfonse D’Amato, chairman of the PPA. Cada has been a card player since a young age, starting with games like euchre and pinochle with his family, including his father who was laid off this summer from his auto industry job in Michigan. Poker became a passion of Cada’s after he graduated high school, where he honed his skill online and in games with his close friends. While his parents were initiall
PocketFives.com members who managed to avoid being exposed to spoilers watched Joe jcada99 Cada take down the 2009 World Series of Poker (WSOP) Main Event on Tuesday night. ESPN aired two and a half hours of coverage of the final table and PocketFives.com avoided publishing a front page article in deference to our members. When the smoke cleared at the Penn and Teller Theater at the Rio in Las Vegas, Cada earned $8.5 million and became the youngest WSOP Main Event champion ever at age 21, eclipsing Peter Eastgate’s record by nearly one year.

Cada told us how he spent his Sunday recouping from the Saturday’s marathon session, which lasted 17 hours: “I couldn’t sleep at all and just relaxed in my room and tal
Joe Cada has won the 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event in a heads-up game that saw him recover from a severe beating in early play before taking the title. Despite leading in the chip count going into heads-up play, Cada’s lead was quickly claimed by an aggressive Darvin Moon. The initial tone of the match was set when on a 3/King/2 flop and Ace on the turn, Moon raised by 10 million chips. Cada called him, and the river was a King, to which both players checked. The pocket 9s of Cada could not stand against Moon’s pocket Queens, and Moon began his rise to become chip leader. Darvin Moon remained on the front foot, and attempts by Cada to break his momentum were met with even more aggressive action. Eventually, Cada was forced to take the initiative at last or else he would surely lose. Sources: http://www.onlinecasino.co.
