Former Champion Cada Reminds Everyone Who He Is
Joe Cada's stack has recently dipped below the 15 big blind mark and he was recounting a tale of another occasion where he found himself even more short-stacked.
"I was in the big blind with eight big blinds," explained Cada to his table. "And it folded to the button and he thought about it before folding. And the small blind put me in and I had to call with jack-four. And the small blind had five-four and I won with jack-high.
"And after the hand, the button pounds the table and I'm like 'Easy guy, it's only eight blinds.' And he explained he folded ace-high. And I said to him 'How can you fold ace-high on the button?' and he said that he was worried the small blind was going to raise him.
"I was like, with a million dollar pay jump, he wants me out as much as you do!"
It was at this moment a tablemate interjected. "What tournament was this in?"
"This one, the 2009 Main Event," replied Cada.
"Where did you finish?" asked his tablemate.
"I won it," said Cada.
