JOE CADA

Yes.  Did you see Cada with his arms on Cliff Josephy sweating the turn and river.  I now know the rumors are true that he was backed by that PokerStars regular.  Also, Cada handled himself with a lot of class and I was genuinely happy that he won. 

And to top it off, the arrogant prick, Phil Ivey got burned by the poker gods.  What an enjoyable night of TV viewing.  Now I just need to find the Jimmy the Greek story.  I only caught the last 5 minutes, and I still admit to tearing up a tad.  

So glad all that the 8.5 mill didn't go to Moon.  Bad enough he got 5 mill.  He has no interest in the money and was going to buy his wife a lawn mower !   Makes you wanna scream.  We'll see Cada for many years and he will enjoy the money. 

CADA is the biggest donk/luck box to win it in MANY MANY years...Far more of a luck box than Gold or Yang..

The idiot kid shoved all in 3 times and sucked out with

22, 33, and 44.....For fuck sakes...

CADA = IDIOT DONK/LUCKBOX/ RICH little fuck..

should have said he would get her a broom and dustpan more suitable

Seriously don't understand the praise for this vicotry.  No really good bets/calls/folds just plain luck.  I wasn't able to watch the whole final table, but nothing but suck outs while I was tuning in to it. 

It would of been interesting had Cada not sucked out on Shulman to see what he could have done from there.

makes you appreciate Ivy's accomplishment even more

so the others at the final table dont deserve the same bean bag licking that you give Phil for making the final table????

Yes I have to admit its very difficult to watch a guy suck out over + over to win then be praised for how "awesome" he is. With that said i dont think the kid is probably that bad at all, but totally luckboxed his way thru that final table and that is very very difficult to watch at times.

With that said I dont think anyone has ever been as hot as Jamie Gold, that guys run was disgusting. Yang was just a complete fukn donk and he got me wanting to turn religious after all the cards he spiked after praising the lord, lol

The suckouts at the final table this year were fucking insane. Hopefully people realize they dont just happen online.

Darvin Moon was amazing (and not in a good way). Amazing that a guy who looks like your typical donk (and probably is) in your home game can get THAT FAR just by being hot. He had no fucking clue what he was doing and was ready to call off with any piece, it was crazy. To say the WSOP MAIN EVENT CHAMP is the "king of poker" is pretty ridiculous but man how awesome it must be to get that far. That "theatre" was fucking rocking in there.

Still good television but I have to admit being VERY jealous watching Cada run like god at the final table. Im sure all of us were saying, "If I could run like that for just one day, once" LOL

Good point, Rockford.  Ivey's accomplishment was no more special than the rest of those that made the final table.  When Ivey got eliminated, the applause from the railbirds and despondence from Norman Chad was disgustingly comical. 

moon shoulda beat cada heads up....i think hes better than that kid.....

ivey was doomed when he folded that flush and gave 3 mil away doing so....

Wow....you guys do realize that anyone who wins is going to get lucky at somepoint and going to "suck out" on other people right...

over 6000 people in the tourney, to not expect that to ever happen is insane...

props to the kid winning and being the envy of all the haters

Powerade....I definately envy the kid...But you have to admit the play of the kid was horrid at best...Pushing all-in with 22, 33, and 44 is NOT good poker...It's bingo.... The kid should of gotten 7th place at the very best...It is actually quite amazing that he made it to the second day much less the final table, same goes with Moon boy..

BTW...That women in your avatar needs a serious breast reduction...

REVOKE HIS "MAN CARD" IMMEDIATELY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

all you guys acting like cada was a rookie but he played online for yrs and had much more experience than most at that table , online anyway and he did suckout alot but in order to win an event of that magnitude 6k players you have to be lucky also .

do you actually think bax and sheets would of backed him if they didnt think he was good? bax has been his backer for many tournys not just this one lol and the kid has done real good online before the wsop . i think he will be a great for the poker scene and live up to his expectations, he only got 2.5 mill after taxes and paying bax half but he also got a million dollar deal for 1 yr with stars ,   good for him

Cada may have sucked out and got lucky at the final table.  But he had to push all in because of the size of his stack.  He had 1% of the final table chips at one point.  You see pocket 3's and there is only one move.  More power to him.  And the only way to win a poker tournament is mostly by luck.

BTW, Moon didnt play that bad.  The last hand he lost to CADA, JQ suited vs pocket 9's was a true coin flip.
