Vince Neil of Motley Crue gives the "Shuffle Up and Deal" command to start heads-up play for the 2009 WSOP Championship
In an abbreviated session heads-up that lasted less than four hours the 2009 World Series of Poker crowned the youngest player to ever win a WSOP Main Event. Joseph Cada is a 21-year-old from Michigan that now claims the title of World Poker Champion after eclipsing the record set last year by 22-year-old Peter Eastgate.
Cada takes home a winner's purse of over $8.5 million and a very special bracelet from the 40th anniversary edition of the World Series of Poker. Darvin Moon, a logger from Maryland, traded the chip lead with the young player a number of times before the final hand was dealt and Joe Cada took all the chips with a pair of Nines.
Watch all of the November Nine playing the final table of the 2009 WSOP tonight on ESPN at 9 PM ET. Included in tonight's two hour show is all the action from the heads-up match between Moon and Cada and it's delivered on the same day it was played.
A gallery of photos from the 2009 WSOP Main Event November Nine Final Table will be posted in a few days including exclusive backstage photos.
