Joe Cada Wins $8.5 million poker jackpot at World Series of Poker

Well I'm bummed. I'm not sure why - but I just don't like this guy that much. Oh well - Joe Cada, the youngest champion in the 40-year history of the game's richest and most prestigious event, won with a pair of nines after about 90 hands head-to-head against second-place finisher Darvin Moon.

Cada squandered a huge lead at the start of play late on Monday against 46-year-old Moon before barreling back in a finale of constant betting. It was played before an audience of more than 1,500 people at the Rio Hotel-Casino at a table stacked with bricks of cash. A diamond-encrusted championship bracelet gleamed on the side of the table.
