  In what can be considered one of the biggest comebacks in the World Series of Poker's Main Event final table's history, Joe Cada of Shelby Township, Michigan became the youngest player to win the Main Event by overcoming a 25 to 1 chip count deficit in day one to grab the chip lead going into day two. As the proceedings for the heads up commenced, Cada had Darvin Moon outstacked about 2 to 1 in chips. Moon was the overwhelming chip leader at the start of the November 9, but suffered two big losses on day 1. Cada said of being down on day one, "I was not worried. You can't stress out when that happens. You just have to continue to play your best poker." And that's what Joe Cada did.

  The "November Nine" has been set in stone after a long, 8-day marathon of play at the World Series of Poker's Main Event. The table includes poker icon, Phil Ivey, but he is in 7th place going in. The chip leader is Darvin Moon who has 58,930,000 in chips, and has about 30 percent of the chips in play in his corner. Ivey and the other 7 players are looking up at a mountain, but if the WSOP has ever shown us anything about a final table, it's to never count anyone out (and never expect the chip leader to win).

Las Vegas, NV--Darvin Moon is the new chip leader after six days of play. He lives in the small eastern Maryland town of Oakland. Moon owns and operates a small logging company with other family members.  Most of his days are spent in pine forests scattered throughout the Maryland panhandle. He is married and was cheered on by his wife, who was sitting in the crowd. This is Moon's first time to play in the WSOP. It was also his first time to visit Las Vegas.
