<p>The newest WSOP Main Event champion, <strong>Joe Cada</strong>, has been making the rounds recently, appearing on TV shows and basking in the fame that comes with winning the largest poker tournament in the world. After being spotted ringside at <em><strong>WWE Raw</strong></em> on Monday night with <strong>Dennis Phillips</strong>, Cada made an appearance on the <em><strong>Late Show with David Letterman</strong></em>.</p>
<p>Along with getting all of his contractually obligated plugs in, Cada revealed that he has lost as much as $100k in a single session of playing, but that it was only after he had already received about a million after the <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/wsop-main-event-live-updates.html" target="_blank">WSOP Main Event</a> but before the November Nine final table. He talks a little about the transition from playing <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/" target="_blank">online poker</a>, the taxing conditions during the WSOP and how his parents feel about him playing poker.</p>
<p>So, check out the video and let us know what you think in the comments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-28487" title="Joe Cada Wins 2009 WSOP Main Event" src="http://beat.bodoglife.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/joe-cada.jpg" alt="Joe Cada Wins 2009 WSOP Main Event" width="460" height="307" /></p>

<p>After eight days of play back in July, three months of waiting and 18 hours of play on Saturday, the <strong>2009 WSOP Main Event</strong> has finally come to a conclusion, breaking records on the way. At 2am local time this morning, <strong>Joe Cada</strong> became the youngest player to ever win a WSOP Main Event, pocketing $8,547,042 for that win, and it came on the final hand of the longest Main Event final table ever played.</p>
<p>Just eight days shy of his 22nd birthday, Cada beat out the record set by 2008 WSOP Main Event champ <strong>Peter Eastgate</strong>, who himself bested the record set by <strong>Phil Hellmuth</strong> 20 years prior. This was the first WSOP that Cada had been eligible to play due to his age, and during the course of the summer cashed in two other events along with his monumental, record-breaking win at the 2009 <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/wsop-main-event-live-updates.html" target="_blank">WSOP Main Event</a>.</p>
<p>Entering the final table just fifth in chips, Cada had an uphill struggle to reach the heads-up match, especially against a table that included several experienced players, like <strong>Jeff Shulman</strong> and <strong>Eric Buchman</strong>, and the widely acknowledged "best player in <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/" target="_blank">poker</a>" <strong>Phil Ivey</strong>. However, Cada was able to catch the right cards at the right times &#8211; causing Hellmuth to dub him the "luckiest poker player in WSOP history" at one point &#8211; to meet Maryland logger <strong>Darvin Moon</strong> heads-up for the title.</p>
<p>Moon came into the final table with an impressive chip lead and found himself at or near the top for most of the final table, experiencing swings down to as low as third and then back up to the lead. However, by the time he was to face Cada for the title, Moon was at a distinct disadvantage, not only with almost two-thirds less chips than his opponent, but also with much less experience playing heads-up poker.</p>
<p>The heads-up battle lasted 87 hands over two hours and 21 minutes and came down to a classic race situation in which Cada's pocket nines went up against the Q-J suited of Moon. The board blanked out for Moon, giving Cada the title, bracelet and a place in the history books and Moon some great stories to tell his logging friends back in Maryland. Oh, and $5,182,928.</p>

<p>If you've been reading the Beat religiously, which you should, then you already know what goes down in the <strong>2009 WSOP Main Event</strong>. Well, up until the <strong>November Nine</strong> is set. However, if you want to actually see the action, hole cards and Nuts segments for yourself, then make sure to tune in to ESPN tonight to catch up on everything that went down in the Amazon Room over the summer.</p>
<p>Tonight's episode picks up with only 64 players remaining, including poker pros <strong>Phil Ivey</strong> and <strong>Antonio Esfandiari</strong>, both of who are seated at the featured table, and the continued tracking of last woman standing <strong>Leo Margets</strong> as well of the emergence of the Maryland logger <strong>Darvin Moon</strong>, who is now part of the poker consciousness. Or will be for the next month or so.</p>
<p>These 2009 WSOP Main Event episodes will continue every Tuesday at 9pm ET until the November Nine congregate back in Vegas to play out the final table and down to the $8.5 million first-place prize.</p>

<p>ESPN's coverage of the <strong>2009 WSOP Main Event</strong> continues tonight with two more hours of featured table and other footage from the floor of the Amazon Room. Tonight's episode promises to deliver some great poker action as it will feature 2009 WSOP Player of the Year <strong>Jeff Lisandro</strong> at that featured table taking on fellow Aussie and 2005 WSOP Main Event champion <strong>Joe Hachem</strong>.</p>
<p>With <strong>Phil Ivey</strong> reaching the 2009 WSOP Final Table as a member of the <strong>November Nine</strong>, the ESPN editors obviously will have gone back to their footage of these earlier days of the Main Event and squeezed every minute of his face out of that tape to show in these episodes. So, expect to see plenty of Ivey tonight as well as the poker brat <strong>Phil Hellmuth</strong> and <strong>Peter Eastgate</strong>. It also looks like <strong>Chris Ferguson, Greg Raymer, Kenny Tran </strong>and <strong>Bertrand "elKy" Grospellier</strong>, who held the chip lead for quite sometime during this part of the tournament, will also get some TV face time.</p>
<p>The episodes run every Tuesday night at 8pm ET and will continue through November 10, when the November Nine final table will air, and all will feature the signature commentary of <strong>Norman Chad</strong> and <strong>Lon McEachern</strong>.</p>
<p>If you want a chance to appear on ESPN at the <strong>2010 WSOP Main Event</strong>, then start playing <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/" target="_blank">online poker tournaments</a> at Bodog Poker now and rack up Tournament Leader Board points for a spot in the Monthly TLB Winners' Freeroll in January 2010 for your chance to win a Main Event prize package. The 12 Monthly TLB Winners in 2009 will play in a two-table six-handed Sit 'n' Go on Sunday, January 24th, 2010, at 3pm ET.  The top two players will each win a $12,000 Main Event prize package. For full details head over to the <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/leader-board-info.html" target="_blank">Poker Tournament Leader Board</a> page.</p>

<p>On the same day that Day 1A and Day 1B of the <strong>2009 WSOP Main Event</strong> are set to air on ESPN, Harrah's also announced they have extended their TV deal with <strong>ESPN</strong> through the year 2018. Yay, nine more years of "The Nuts" segments and odd corporate sponsorship deals.</p>
<p>"The WSOP is proud to call ESPN home for another nine years," said <strong>Jeffrey Pollack</strong>, President of Harrah's Interactive Entertainment and the World Series of Poker. "This long-term agreement ensures that our content will continue to reach sports fans around the world through every medium that matters."</p>
<p>WSOP content will be available to ESPN for the following platforms: <strong>ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN2, ESPN2 HD, ESPN Classic, ESPN.com, ESPN360.com, ESPN Mobile TV and ESPN International</strong> outlets outside of the United States.</p>
<p>“We are very excited to continue our relationship with Harrah’s to deliver the largest, richest, and most prestigious gaming event in the world to fans across a variety of our platforms,” said <strong>Doug White</strong>, senior director of programming and acquisitions, ESPN.  “Poker continues to be a solid ratings performer for us and allows us to continue offering diverse programming to our viewers.“</p>
<p>So, to celebrate this momentous occasiuon, they will show the two most boring starting days of the <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/wsop-main-event-live-updates.html" target="_blank">2009 WSOP</a> tonight at 9pm ET. The only good thing about these starting days was the presence of Team Bodog <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/" target="_blank">online poker</a> players <strong>Ryan "rjules12&#8243; Julius</strong>, <strong>Patrice "hotmax9″ Libert</strong>, who spent most of the day seated next to poker legend <strong>Amarillo Slim</strong>, <strong>Robert "rmobley65″ Mobley, David "DARKHELMET13″ Lee, Jean-Yves "neophrak" Desmoort, Walter "Panicked" Wright</strong> and <strong>Patricia "MsSassy" Bickley</strong>.</p>
<p>See if you can keep an eye out for the Black and Red of Team Bodog among the sea of donkeys at the Main Event. Meanwhile, we'll be playing the "hey was that us?" game all night. Yipee.</p>

<p>Like most of us Bodog <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/" target="_blank">Poker</a> pro <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/team-bodog/evelyn-ng.html" target="_blank"><strong>Evelyn Ng</strong></a> pays rent or mortgage for her place of living, which for her just happens to be a sick poolside spot at the Panorama Towers in Vegas. Those of us who pay rent expect our landlords to use that money to pay for the building in which we live. Apparently, Evy's landlords felt no such compunction and she now has to find a new place to live. Anyway, check out her latest video blog for more info on that and what else she is up to post-WSOP.</p>

<p>We are (not at all) shocked to learn that the <strong>Sapphire Pool</strong> at the <strong>Rio Las Vegas</strong>, the site of the <strong>2009 WSOP</strong>, was shut down last week after allegations of a prostitution ring surfaced.</p>
<p>The Rio's secluded pool is sponsored by the <strong>Sapphire Gentlemen's Club</strong> and is insinuated to be stocked with topless Sapphire Girls; however, as we found out last year, that is never the case. Attendants of the <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/tournaments/wsop-main-event-live-updates.html" target="_blank">2009 WSOP</a> may recall being offered "free" drink tickets (one drink was free, cover to get in was like $40) by the lovely (working) girls in the hallway outside the Amazon Room, the insinuation being that they would be joining you at the pool at any moment. Yeh, no.</p>
<p>We're sure that you, too, are (not) surprised to learn that those classy ladies were pushing more than free drinks. Nothing like workers with a little added motivation to get you to the pool, and drunk and gullible <a href="http://poker.bodog.com/" target="_blank">poker</a> fans to provide the fodder.</p>
<p>The Sapphire Pool and it's sponsored Gentlemen's Club is in our thoughts as they try to bounce back from this devasting(ly obvious) blow to their reputation. The blow to their reputation comes from the rather rough <a href="http://wickedchopspoker.com/sapphire-pool-prostitutes-photo-dump/" target="_blank">mug shots</a> posted of those involved, nothing like seeing a stripper in the daylight.</p>

<p>In anticipation of the <strong>2009 WSOP Main Event</strong> Final Table (the "<strong>November Nine</strong>"), <strong>ESPN</strong> is kicking off a weekly online poker news show that will feature some of the biggest players in the game and cover poker news as well as taking an inside look at the lifestyle in the world of poker.</p>
