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 two players had certainly earned their rights to be there. They both played outstanding poker to get this point.
Only one could rise up and become one of the immortal Main Event Champions. At approximately 1:30am, one stood, Joseph Cada. Joseph Cada is only 21 and now a millionaire, taking home an incredible $8,546,435.00 for finishing First Place in 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 two players were said to be wary of each other, knowing their styles over the last few months of play. Spectators were interested in the everyday man, Darvin Moon, who had never played in a Main Event before, yet was the chip leader for almost the entire 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 down to only 58M compared to Cada’s 135M, but in a few first hands, Moon had caught up and somehow leveled the playing field between the two. They rallied for about 3 hours, back and forth giving away the chip lead, but it all came down to one hand.
They finally went all-in for the last time, Cada holding a pair 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 in. The board provided absolutely no help to Moon, not matching either of his over cards or even a single diamond, simply throwing down two 7’s to make Cada’s hand even better. Joseph Cada had won, Moon an incredible run and still walked away with $5,182,928.00.
Joseph Cada is the youngest Main Event bracelet winner and the way he played his tournament many speculate this will not be his last. He started this final table with 13M, quickly was forced to less than 3M, and somehow came back to win it all. A truly remarkable story and impressive play by all November Nine players. Congratulations to Joseph Cada, 2009 WSOP Main Event Winner.
