RIGGED!! LOL

Good luck Joe!

Anybody see the K9 hand vs Cada's A6? Cada bluffs the river. Sorry, I think Big Blind has to call that w/ top-pair vs a Button open.

[Fire in da hole]

If anything close to this happen at SBR everyone would scream rigged

Lol sporting achievement...I see what you did there.

You can be the best poker player of all time, play the correct way by %s each time, and still lose based on luck of the draw.

I feel bad for these kids that get sucked into WSOP, paying huge entry fees, thinking it’s a skill game when it’s 90% luck who gets in the money.

Interesting that you say it’s 90% luck, the day after Phil Helmuth won his 15th bracelet and Cada makes the final table again. Must be the luckiest guys in the world!

these poker player fellas are well-tuned athletes; unlike golfers and car drivers, they can carry even more fat and succeed in today's poker arena....

[thetrinity]

Winning the main event twice, with these fields, would have to go down as one of the greatest sporting achievements ever.

Spot on. Just about impossible

They are. How many times do the play and lose?

I’ve known many good poker players who some nights lose because they are never dealt a hand they can win with. And if you think you can bluff your way to a bunch of big pots - that’s not skill. That’s luck and a reckless no fear of losing mentality (something legit gamblers shy away from)

Golfers, bball players, etc etc all lose too. The point is its often the same people that win and make deep runs. There is always some luck, but a lot is skill.

Cada has 30 cashes over the last 4 WSOPs. Average 7.5 per year. Even if he played all the events it was physically possible to enter that would be about a 1 in 4 hit rate. But it's more likely around 50% events he has cashed.

Averaging 500k a year in prizemoney.

think u gotta fold kings in that spot w labat started hand 2nd most in chips and 2 allins in front of you knowing it's the final table bubble people are playing extra tight

They say luck is where skill meets preparation. Put yourself in the right spots and you will get “lucky”

and that spot is usually the G-spot

He three barreled after the button raise pre. The key to that bluff is Cada ran it against the only player capable of making that lay down. In a random tournament it’s a spew but in this spot it’s ultra high level.

Fair comment, sharpy. I'm not gonna argue too hard. Poker can look ez, when u see the whole-cam.

That's sick. 2 bracelets, I think 4 final tables including the main event. What a run.

[DOM_Toretto]

Unbelievable. After 10 days and getting 5th in the main event he entered and won a field of 3,100 players in the final event. Just wow.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

this is stating the obvious but Cada is really something else at the large field events.

is cada player of year now

is cada player of year now

I read somewhere Deeb is too far ahead so Cada isn't even going to Europe to try and catch him.

[JAKEPEAVY21]

is cada player of year now

not sure, Shaun Deeb won 2 bracelets as well. I can't stand Deeb so I hope Cada wins it. Deeb is a complete slob and disgustingly obese.

[rm18]

Deeb is in the lead Europe counts too but not sure if anyone will even go there to try to catch him. I doubt Ben Yu who is in 2nd would he does not really play except for WSOP.
