I've never seen anyone play worse at the final table and win in my life. Cada was down to practically nothing at one point and fought back, and he was making one unnecessary all-in overbet after another with mediocre hands and sucking out again and again and again. Moon was very lucky to get heads-up as well.

But congratulations to Joseph Cada, your 2009 WSOP Main Event world champion.

Yeah, the young man played well but had tons of luck going with him down to the end. I liked Moon too as he was an everyday guy and a logger. He never played big time before nor did he ever play online. Not bad being second, he got over five million. Cada won over eight mil.

I watched the two all-ins with low pocket pairs, 2s and 3s, by Cada on ESPN and he sucked out twice on the flop against higher pocket pairs!!!! He was very lucky. To hit the set on the flop is a 12% probability so to hit it twice with tournament on the line is a 1.44% probability. Overall he was a 25% chance of winning each time so he hit a 6.25% probability to win both situations of low vs higher pocket pair.

The most memorable moment for me was the “great” Phil Ivey mucking the winning flush with about 22 players to go.

These clowns don’t scare me. I thought the best players we Saout and Shulman. Begleiter was quite good also.

I thought Moon was a much better player prior to the final table. He spent those few months getting a little too full of himself and IMHO was very lucky to come in second.
