WSOP 20009 Heads Up Spoiler

The 2009 World Series of Poker is done and over, We have a new Champion. If you don’t want to have it spoiled for you, and you want to wait to watch it tonite on ESPN to see who the winner is PLEASE DON’T READ ANY MORE.

Well it all started at about 1:30 am est. time. Joe Cada and Darvin Moon playing heads up for the title. I had to stay up to listen to it on the bluff magazine website, I just could not wait to watch it on ESPN tonite to see who the winner would be. We have a player from Michigan playing how could I not stay up and listen. Now I don’t want to drag this post out with all the details of heads up play, but I will say that it lasted a long time. Most were thinking it was going to be quick heads up play but it lasted until about 4:00 am. Michigan Card Player would like to congratulate Joe Cada of Shelby Township Michigan with the win. Joe Cada is the youngest player is WSOP history to win the Main Event. Below find the final hand of heads up play, text is from the pokernews.com website:

The kid has done it folks! That’s right, Joe “The Kid” Cada is your 2009 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion! After 87 hands after heads-up play, Cada flipped his way over Darvin Moon to become victorious. Last year, Peter Eastgate beat Phil Hellmuth’s record of 19 years as the youngest Main Event champion. This year, Cada becomes the youngest winner ever just eight days shy of his 22nd birthday, surpassing Eastgate.

Cada came into the final table right in the middle of the pack, sitting fifth in chips. He slipped early on, but found some timely double ups to bring him right back into contention. After eliminating Antoine Saout in third place, Cada set the stage for an epic heads-up battle between himself and Moon.

The chip lead would change hands numerous times during heads-up play, but it was Cada who won the two most important all-in pots of the night. First, he dodged Moon’s straight draw when he put himself at risk calling off with second pair. After Moon failed to connect on the river, Cada not only survived, but regained the chip lead.

A few hands later, Moon and Cada found themselves all in preflop with Moon the player at risk. Cada held the slight lead with pocket nines to Moon’s Qd Jd Those nines will forever hold a place in the youngster’s heart as they held true till the end, giving Cada the victory.

Upon being presented with the bracelet, Cada thanked all of his fans, many of whom took off from work and school to come support him. He also made sure to congratulate all of the members of the final table and asked the crowd to give a round of applause for all of them, especially Moon.

Congratulations to Joe Cada for winning the 2009 WSOP Main Event!
