Dead Even!
13 days ago
Joe Cada caught Darvin Moon with his pants down a little calling a 10-million chip jack-high river bluff to knock Maryland's man down to 66 million in chips.
The chipping away continued with Cada increasing his lead one small pot at a time until the blinds went up to 600,000/1,200,000 with a 200k ante.
With 60 million to Cada's 130 million, Moon was the next to strike.
Bad Moon Rising
Cada opened to 3 million from the button and Moon re-raised to 8 million from the big blind. The flop came down K
7
6
and Moon bet 5 million.
The turn was the 3
and Moon announced all-in. Cada quickly mucks and Moon took a healthy pot.
Suddenly Moon was back up to 83 Million to Cada's 111 million before a bit of preflop jostling ensued.
All Knotted Up
Moon opened from the button and Cada three-bet from the big blind. Moon counted out chips and four-bet an additional 17,800,000.
Cada looked resigned to playing the hand, but opted to let it go after a few moments in the tank and after the chips were pushed to Moon the two were dead even in chips.
The players traded a few smallish pots after that before taking a 20-minute break.

A Back and Forth Affair
13 days ago
Darvin Moon drew first blood on the very first hand of the heads-up match.
It began with Moon limping from the button and Joe Cada raising to 2.5 million from the big blind. The flop came down 3
K
2
and Cada led out for 3.5 million.
Moon announced raise and made it 10 million to go. Cada made the call and the A
hit the turn.
Cada checked this time and Moon fired another 10 million. Cada called and they both check the K
river.
Moon turned over pocket queens, which were good against Cada's pocket nines and he suddenly began to climb back in it.
Almost All The Way Back
Cada picked up a few small pots after that, but the next big one went to Moon.
Joe Cada raised to 2.5 million and Moon called.
The raggedy 8
6
4
flop saw two checks, but when the A
turned and Moon checked, Cada took the lead betting 3.5 million.
Moon check-raised it up to 7.5 million, but Cada was going nowhere and made the call.
On the 3
river, Moon led out for 7.5 million and Cada mucked.
After raking the pot, Moon had climbed back to almost even with 93 million to Cada's 101 million.
Take Us To Your Leader
Cada struck next through, flopping a king high flush and getting Moon to pay him off in a 6.5 million chip pot.
However, Moon picked those chips up and more, floating the flop and turning a pair of queens to steal a 38 million chip pot and move into the lead with 101 million to Cada's 92 million.
Taking It Back
Cada moved back into the lead soon after, however.
After calling a 3 million chip open from Moon, Cada checked the J
4
2
flop. Moon bet 4 million and Cada called.
The turn brought the Q
and Cada checked again, only to check-raise it up to 16.75 million when Moon bet 6 million.
The logger cut out a call, but after the 5
river and a whopping 35 million chip bet from Cada, Moon took a deep breath, sat back in his chair, counted his chips and mucked his cards.
Following the hand, Cada was over 120 million and Moon down to 72 million.
