WSOP: Joe Cada Chasing History

[DOM_Toretto]

For you poker guys out there.

Cada looking to be the only player to win multiple main events in the modern era. The kid started this year’s series out by finishing his first two events with a final table and then a bracelet. Now he’s in the final 26 of the main event, which started with over 7,800 players. Play resumes today at noon Vegas time and should get down to the final table. I’ll be rooting for the guy who stacked me countless times in our teenage home games.

[jjgold]

Lol

I’d say 2004 when Moneymaker won it. Since then it went from 300-500 players entering to 7,000-8,000 players entering.

Pulling for Joe Cada.... You played poker with him growing up?

Pulling for Joe Cada.... You played poker with him growing up?

Yes... all my poker friends are tremendously more successful than me. I know & played countless hours with 2 different WSOP Main Event champs.

I’m chasing my first big win. 1/1 in making the money in WSOP cashes tho! Lol

[JAKEPEAVY21]

he is still a longshot to win

if he makes the final table then the story will catch fire

[Chili_Powder]

Yeah, I remember him as a good aggressive player. Best of luck to him!

[SharpAngles]

Guy will make serious history if he does it. Already the youngest to ever win it and now 25 players away from 2 wins. He also has position on the top two stacks after the seat draw, about 70 million chips, and the skill to exploit that advantage today.

[DeathAdder]

He ain't winning the main again. I'll personally send you $100 bucks if he does. Consider it a freeroll. He probably has less than 2% probability and that's being generous. 26 sounds like a low number, but too many variables, come back when he makes the final table and maybe I'll reconsider my position. Right now you're just promoting clickbait. Still a monumental up hill battle for Mr.Cada

[blankoblanco]

The blinds are 1/2 million? That means the actual chip leader only has 20 big blinds, Jesus, that's almost as much of a crapshoot as SBR dailies already. I could've sworn stacks were quite a bit deeper at this point in previous main events but maybe I'm crazy

That can’t be right.

[blankoblanco]

Yeah maybe that article is wrong, doesn't seem like it could be the case at all. That'd essentially mean there's barely even room for a 3bet/4bet shove, and theres been plenty of 4betting at previous ME final tables

[blankoblanco]

Okay nvm, that article is just dumb af, the blinds are actually 100k/200k

[cincinnatikid513]

espn is so pathetic, showing a summer league nba game instead of poker no espn coverage til midnight, f u espn

[goofyre]

Nic Manion, also from MI is from my hometown and still in it too. Met him a handful of times as we have a lot of mutual friends. His previous biggest cash was 9k.

[SharpAngles]

How big are the balls on Phan?

Feature Table Hand #63: Phan Calls Down Metalidi

Hand #63: Action folded to Ryan Phan who opened to 700,000 in the cutoff. Artem Metalidi called in the small blind and Aram Zobian called in the big blind.
The flop was As 10d 9c and both blinds checked to Phan who checked as well. On the 7h turn, Metalidi led with a bet of 1,400,000. Zobian let go of his hand and Phan called.
The river was the 5s and Metalidi led out with a bet of 2,800,000. Phan called after some time and Metalidi showed downQh Jh but Phan had him beat and showed down his Jd Jc to scoop the pot.

[The Giant]

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

[jonal]

hope he wins it again

[jrgum3]

Joe Cada’s claim to fame is that he’s the youngest player ever to win the Main Event.

[blankoblanco]

"Cada will by no means have an easy route to the final table. He currently sits 19th in chips with 8.85 million, and blind levels are at a costly 1 million-2 million with a 300,000 ante."

Still not corrected in the first article. Good lord, how do you report on this and have the blinds and ante off by a magnitude of 10. gl to Cada on his 4 BBs, kappa

guess we won't see much coverage tonight on espn already down to 15 left and coverage doesn't start for 3 hours, thanks espn

[JAKEPEAVY21]

all the Michigan nuthuggers coming out of the woodwork

[Chi_archie]

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

i knew that and i could sign up for poker go but my credit card is in my car and im too lazy to go get it so i will jist wait til midnight when there are like 10 left and it takes forever to bubblewaves the final table

[jrgum3]

he is still a longshot to win

Well he made the final table sixth in chips. Even if he doesn't win its pretty cool to see a guy who has won the Main Event before reach another final table with a decent chance to take it down again.

[Optional]

Wow, that last hand for the final table bubble was a doozy

[BigJay]

I’ve been playing and watching poker a long time and that final table bubble hand was the wildest I’ve ever seen preflop. Amazing.

[cankid]

Wow, that last hand for the final table bubble was a doozy

They needed a hand like that to shake things up and get their final table

[cincinnatikid513]

Wow, that last hand for the final table bubble was a doozy

can't believe wsop brought in the sbr poker software to get rid of a player just shameful

[cincinnatikid513]

that joe cada bluff with a6 was amazing the aussie was so closing to calling and sending joe cada home before the final table

[badgerguy]

I’m cheering for Cynn. He seems like a cool dude.
