Joe Cada

Born on November 18, 1987 in Shelby Charter Township, Michigan, Joe Cada - jcada99 was no stranger to gambling in his youth, as card games were played at home and his mother worked as a blackjack dealer at a local casino. But little did he know the impact that poker would have on his life. Cada began playing poker online at the age of 16 but didn’t find his way into a substantial bankroll until years later, and despite the swings, he was an overall winning player. Some live play at the age of 19 in Canada helped his game, and when his bankroll reached six-figures, he decided to leave Macomb Community College in pursuit of a full-time poker career. At 21 years old, Cada traveled to Las Vegas for his first World Series of Poker, and after cashing in two events, he went on to make the November Nine of the $10,000 World Championship Main Event. Upon returning to the ESPN taping of the final table in November, he fought his way through the opponents, including Darvin Moon during heads-up play, and won the biggest and most prestigious tournament in poker. The youngest winner ever took home $8,546,435 for the feat, then appeared on networks like CBS and CNN, even making an appearance on the “Late Show with David Letterman” to discuss it. Cada finished in 11th place at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure High Roller tournament since then, and he has traveled the world as a Team PokerStars Pro and to Washington, D.C. as an advocate for the legalization and regulation of online poker.
