Famous Poker Players - Joe Cada
Joe Cada was born in 1987 on November the 18th and grew up at his home town in Michigan. This young online poker player is probably best known by the poker community for his 2009 Main Event win in the World Series of Poker.
After getting very lucky on the final table Joe Cada managed to beat Darvin Moon heads up to become the youngest poker player ever to win the Main Event. This beat Peter Eastgate’s record which was set just one year previous to Cada’s win. Cada is a self admitted product of the Moneymaker boom after the 2003 Main Event. Joe Cada is definitely an up and coming poker star and players should look out to see more of him on a lot of big poker television shows in the coming months.
Joe started his poker life playing part time while studying at Macomb Community College. He was introduced to the gambling seen because his mother worked at the MotorCity Casino as a blackjack dealer. Like many other student poker players before him, he quickly realised that school wasn’t the way to go. Cada dropped out after just two semesters to pursue his poker career. He experienced quite a bit of success starting out in online poker managing to put enough money together to buy his own 3 story house in Michigan.
