Las Vegas, Nov 9 (THAINDIAN NEWS) It is an amazing final match in the Poker World Series 2009. As it has a 21-year-old professional poker player battling it out with a self-employed logger for a huge prize of a whopping amount of $8.55 million. It was chiefly the luck of the 21-year-old Joe Cada as he made a drastic comeback to re-launch himself into the game.
If lady luck keeps on favoring Joe Cada then he is all set to become the youngest series champion ever in the finale Monday night. “Luck always helps,” Cada said. “I’ll take all the luck I can get.” Joe Cada had earlier eliminated French poker professional player Antoine Saout when a river king gave Cada a better pair than Saout’s eights.
Joe Cada faces an opponent more than double his age in the 46-year-old Darvin Moon of Oakland Md. He begins on Monday night with a nearly 2-1-chip disadvantage.
The interesting finale pits the 21 year old youthful professional Joe Cada who makes a living playing poker online against a self-employed logger who, until this year’s World Series of Poker, had never been on an airplane or gambled for high stakes.” They say he’s some kind of specialist online,” Moon said of Cada. “But I’m not online to watch.”
“It is definitely just about winning, so it’s disappointing I did not win,” another opponent who unfortunately lost before the finale Ivey said. “But I am happy with the way I played. I think I made pretty good decisions with the amount of chips that I had, and I think I gave myself as much possibility of winning it as I could.”
