Cada Gets It in on the First Hand of the Final Table

Chad Holloway

Level 40 : Blinds 1,000,000/2,000,000, 2,000,000 ante

On the first hand of the final table, Loic Dobrigna opened with a raise to 4 million from middle position and action folded to the short-stacked Joe Cada, who three-bet jammed for 14.1 million. Dobringa called and the cards were turned up.

Joe Cada: A♦4♦
Loic Dobrigna: A♥10♣

Cada was in a bad spot and the Q♥9♦9♣ didn't do much for him. The J♠ turn left him looking for either a four or a chop card on the river, and fortunately for him he found the latter as the J♣ double paired the board. That meant the two players had jacks and nines with an ace kicker and chopped up the first pot.
