I’m sure those of you who have been watching the WSOP November Nine have had a couple of shock surprises what with play beginning on Saturday with 9 Players and now down to 2. I remember watching on one stretch on Saturday night Cada had the smallest chip stack on the table; down to about 2 million, which in my opinion was next to nothing according to WSOP standards and he looked like he was next on the elimination list. But through fantastic play, he made it back by winning numerous small pots to double his chips each time and then proceeded winning multiple big ones.
So we are down to 2. Cada; the 21 year old poker whiz who has earned his keep by playing professionally online and Moon, 46, the Maryland chainsaw wielding logger about to go head to head for the top prize of $8.5 million. From an initial player poll of 6,494 entrants – We’ve seen a ridiculous amount of great play and these guys should be so proud to being going heads up as the final 2.
As much as I’m a fan of Moon, the underdog by far in my opinion, I’m also somewhat rooting for Cada. If he takes this win, he’ll become the youngest main event winner in history, taking that title from Peter Eastgate who won it last year at the tender age of 22.
Moon, who won his $10,000 seat via a satellite in a West Virginia Casino, started off the final table with $58.9 million chips took some huge hits over the weekend, as he says “I’m always comfortable. Give me one chip and I’m comfortable in reference to that fact that as much as he lost, he kept his nerve and did not get on tilt.
Now it comes down to tonight. Second prize is already assured of $5.18 million; however it’s that bracelet that matters.
Who will win? No idea. Let’s watch tonight and I’ll throw my opinion your way tomorrow.
