Joseph Cada

Who doesn't want a hott, young, multi-millionaire? Well this weeks winner is not only our youngest winner for the WHOA award, but he is also the youngest winner of the World Series of Poker Main Event. Our winner, Joseph Cada walked away from the WSOP final table with nearly $8.5 million.

In the Main Event on Tuesday, Cada battled back and forth with Darvin Moon to win the title and huge pot of cash. Moon was up in chips with 108.5 million before the lead was taken by Cada. With a Jack of hearts and 9 of diamonds, Cada called Moons (8 and 7 of spades) all-in bet. On the board, the cards were a 10 of clubs, 5 of diamonds, 9 of hearts, 10 of diamonds, and 3 of hearts, which gave Cada the chip lead (122.3 million - 63%).

In the final hand, Cada was dealt a pair of 9s, while Moon held a same-suit Queen and Jack. Cada raised 3 million on the hand and Moon called while raising 8 million. Once Cada saw Moons raise he went all-in and Moon called his bet, all before any cards were even flipped. The dealer laid down the flop - an 8 and 2 of clubs and a 7 of spades. The first river card turned over was a King of hearts which gave Cada and his supporters high anxiety. The final river card was a 7 of clubs, relieving his stress and giving Cada the win with his pair of nines.

Cada earned a spot for the final table after surviving a field of 6,494 players this past July. But before the main event, he cashed twice in Event 13 and 34 for a combined $28,214. Once he was among the chip leaders of Event #34, Cada was eliminated by Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, PokerStars Team Pro. After his elimination, Cada was focused. He finally made his way to the final table and earned seat #7 for the ultimate prize. He would leave with at least $1.2 million no matter what place he ranked. One by one players dropped and it left Cada with Moon, the 46 year old poker veteran.

Cada started playing poker 6 years ago but has been a professional and playing online for 4. He enrolled in one semester at a local community college, in his native state - Michigan, before dropping out and deciding to pursue poker as a profession. He has been involved with many tournaments but this has been his biggest and best win yet, with the record high $8.5 million.

He has been described as very laid back, which definitely shows while playing the game he loves. He may not be a muscular, sweaty, athlete but he surely has the mind and competitive spirit to play the game. Not to mention he is cute and the newest multi-millionaire around!
