World Series of Poker. The original World Series of Poker was started by Tom Morehead of the Riverside casino in Reno and was an invitational event. The set of tournaments the World Series of Poker (WSOP) would evolve to was the brainchild of Las Vegas legend, casino owner, and poker player Benny Binion as well as his two sons Jack and Ted.¹ Available here, in addition to info about the WSOP, are Poker Chips, Cards, Table Tops, Tables, Books, Computer Games and Posters.

2009 WSOP Main Event Winner Joe Cada Joe Cada withstood the aggressive play of Darvin Moon to capture the 2009 WSOP Main Event's top prize of $8,547,042. In the process, the 21-year-old (born November, 1988) set a record as WSOP’s youngest winner in the tournament’s 40 year history. That record was previously held by last year's winner Peter Eastgate.

Cada, a Michigan native, began playing poker online at age 15 with his brother Jerome. He continued playing online and, sometime later, was introduced to live action at Michigan casinos. After a couple semesters of college, he left so he could dedicate himself to poker full time. The decision paid rapid dividends.

Outlasting a field of nearly 6,500 players, Cada earned a birth at the final table on July 15th, thereby guaranteeing himself winnings of at least $1,263,602. Though he entered the WSOP's final phase as the youngest participant, he showed no signs of succumbing to the pressure and stood up to formidable foes like Darvin Moon and Phil Ivey.

Prior to entering the final heads-up play against Moon, Cada had knocked out France's Antoine Saout in dramatic fashion, catching a rivered king while holding A-K, trumping Saout's pocket eights.
