The World Series of Poker final table had been billed as a clash of the big stacked, yet inexperienced Darvin Moon, and fans favourite poker player, Phil Ivey. Events did not unfold as many would have hoped however, as Phil Ivey got his remaining 6 million poker chips into the middle with (A,K) against Moons (A,Q), only to fall victim to a queen on the flop.

Meanwhile, other short stacks were struggling too, with James Akenhead managing a triple up, only for his hopes of making poker history to implode shortly afterwards, when his (K,K) walked straight into (A,A). Joe Cada endured a difficult time early on too, slipping down to less than 3 million chips at one point. Shortly afterwards though, Cadas poker tournament began to drastically turn around, as he got his chips in behind on a few different occasions only to be shown clemency by the poker powers that be. After getting back into the biggest poker tournament of his life, Cada never looked back, eventually getting heads up with Darvin Moon, who had a similar stack size to that which he started with.

The heads up battle swung back and forth several times before eventually being won by Cada, who made a fantastic call for his tournament life shortly before the final poker hand. At the tender age of 21, Joe cada is our new main event champion, and as a dedicated online poker player, many would argue the better player heads up, won.
