Wold Series Of Poker
On November 9th, 2009, Michigan native Joe Cada went heads-up against the unlikely big stack Darvin Moon, finally beating him after 88 hands of play. In front of hundreds of fans and other poker pros, including 7th-place finisher Phil Ivey, Cada displayed his self-proclaimed “heads-up specialist” talent, and won $8,546,345.
Cada's Previous Experience
At age 16, Joe began playing poker online, with help from his older brother, Jerome. After losing their entire bankroll, Cada took a break from poker, returning to play in an Ontario casino. As he entered college, he was playing poker online steadily, learning the game and increasing his winnings.
After less than a year in school at Macomb Community College, Cada dropped out to pursue a full-time poker career.
