Joe "The Comeback Kid" Cada Wins $8.5 Million as Youngest WSOP Champ in History.
The 40th World Series of Poker Main Event began with 6,494 entrants four months ago and a massive prize pool of $61,044,921.
All eyes were on the final table at the Rio All-Suites Hotel & Casino, Las Vegas, last night as 21-year-old Michigan native Joseph Cada went heads up against Darvin Moon, a 46-year-old logger from western Maryland. After just 2.5 hours of play, Cada emerged victorious with $8.5 million in winnings, the WSOP championship title and a new record as the youngest Main Event champion in the history of the World Series.
