Joe Cada Chasing Coveted Second Gold Bracelet
After winning the WSOP Main Event in 2009, Joe Cada suffered from the usual hangover associated with winning poker's premier prize at such a young age, only registering one live cash during the following year.
Rather than go the route of Jamie Gold or Jerry Yang, however, and disappear from the poker circuit altogether, Cada reapplied himself to the craft of tournament poker. He cashed twice at the 2011 WSOP, including a 26th place finish in the $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em Six-Handed Championship, and the improvement did not end there.
Last year, Cada cashed three times at the WSOP, and he very nearly captured his second gold bracelet in a massive field $1,500 event.
This year has seen Cada return to the WSOP stage in fine form, as he has cashed three times already, including a pair of 4th place finishes after making final table runs.
The champ is in the house here today, chasing the elusive second bracelet that seems to be the measuring stick among professional players. We will be sure to track Cada's progress as he attempts to secure his fourth cash of the summer, and perhaps, his third final table appearance.
