Joe Cada has proved to everybody that it isn’t necessary to have a degree to win at poker. At the age of 21 and having dropped out of university many would have thought that Joe had a big struggle to earn his first million dollars! However, he has happily proved that it isn’t always necessary to spend 4 years studying at university to win at poker. He is the youngest ever player in the history of the tournament to win. The World Series of Poker reached its peak with him winning with a pre-flop. Surprisingly it was Cada’s first time at this tournament and it will definitely be a game he never forgets. When asked about his final hand play he is quoted as saying that he was too scared to look and turned his back just hoping everything would work out okay
Joe has been playing poker with his friends from a very young age and he has been waiting for the magical day he turned 21 so that he could compete. As the championship was in America, the age restriction was set at 21 as the minimum age to take part. The tournament had a lot of entries (6500) and it wasn’t unusual for competitors to sit down and play sessions of upto 12 hours in a single stretch. The whole tournament was played over ten days.
Joe certainly had quite a journey during his ten days of competing. Joe got really worried because even though he had more chips than any other player at the start of the tournament, by the 8th day he was nearly running out and he was very concerned that he was likely to be knocked out. Unbelievably he somehow managed to get his game back on track. It seems that cards run in the family, as Cada’s mother is a blackjack dealer in Detroit. As a casino dealer, she was very aware that her son may be heading down a tricky path as she had witnessed first hand the highs and lows that poker players go through, but naturally she supported him throughout the tournament and was on hand to celebrate his title win.
