Cada Wins It All!
11 days ago
After falling into an almost 3:1 chip deficit, Joe Cada grabbed control once again.
He made it 3 million preflop and Moon called.
The flopped rolled out T
9
5
and both players tapped the table.
The 10 would bring some fireworks, however, as Moon check-raised all-in after a 3 million chip bet from Cada.
Cada leaned back in his chair for a few minutes pondering a call that would be for his tournament life.
Suddenly and decisively, he laid it all on the line making that call.
Moon showed 8
7 for the open-ender and Cada's J 9 was ahead.
Moon would need a six or a jack to win the Main Event title, but it was not to be as the 3 river fell, handing Cada the double-up and the chip lead.
Following the hand, Cada was up to 108 million and Moon ground down to 86 million.
A few hands later, the two got into a preflop raising war that saw Cada push in with nines and Moon make the call for his tournament life with Q J.
The flop came 8 7 2 and chants of "Joey" filled the theatre. The turn brought the K and Cada needed to fade just one more card.
As the crowd murmured in anticipation, the river came the 7 and the Main Event title and $8.5 million was suddenly Cada's.
A roar of approval could be heard all the way to Freemont Street.
Darvin Moon will take home $5.1 million for his second-place finish, but the World Championship and all the glory that goes with it now belongs to Joe Cada.

Advantage Moon
11 days ago
Darvin Moon has shown us today that even though he has very little heads-up experience, he's a quick learner.
He's applying a lot of pressure to Joe Cada and so far it's been working for him. Moon is in the lead with 136 million to 58 million and we're seeing a ton of big pots developing.
Read on for the highlights of the last hour and check out the new counts to your right.
Second Pair Good for Moon
On a flop of A 8 4 Moon was first to act and fired out 6 million. Cada made the call and the 7 hit the turn. Moon bet again, this time sliding 8.5 million into the middle in one tall tower of chips.
Cada called and the river brought the J. Moon opted to check this street and Cada did the same.
Moon shows an eight for second pair and Cada's cards go in the muck.
Boon for Moon
Moon opened to 3 million from the button and they go heads-up to the A 4 T flop. It's checked and the turn is the 9.
Joe knows poker.
Cada made it 4 million but Moon announced raise and added an additional 8 million on top. Cada got out of the way quick-smart and Moon raked it in.
More Chips for Moon
Cada opened to 3 million from the button and Moon counted out the call, depositing the chips in the middle.
The flop came down A 5 3 and Moon bets 5 million. Cada thought it over for a moment before announcing raise and added another 8 million to the pot. Moon, not to be outdone, re-raised another 17 million.
Cada shook his head and quickly tossed his cards in the muck. With that hand Moon is up to almost 150 million, while Cada is down below the 50 million mark.
Cada Regains Ground
Joe Cada got things started by making it 3 million from the button. Moon called and the flop came down T T 8. After a check from Moon, Cada bet 3 million.
Moon made the call and the turn was the 9. Moon checks a second time and Cada does the same. The river was the 7 and Moon checks one final time and Cada bet 5.75 million.
Moon made the call and Cada showed a six for the straight. Moon shows two pair as his cards go in the muck.
Cada with the All-In
Cada opened this pot to 3 million and Moon once again three-bets to 8 million. Cada, apparently having had enough, announced all-in. It was 50 million and change back to Moon and he tanked for some time before standing up from the table.
He looked like he wanted to call but after a few more seconds he flicked his cards to the muck.
Moon opened to 3 million and after Cada called the flop rolled out T 9 8. Moon quickly bet 5 million and Cada made the call.
The turn was the K and Cada checks again. Moon slid 15 million into the middle and Cada thought for a moment before folding.
