Cada is no stranger to doing things at a young age. Nearly 22 years old, Cada has racked up nearly $500,000 in career poker winnings and has two cashes at WSOP events. He also bought his first house at age 19. When most people were busy trying to pick out a college to attend, Cada was worrying about how many bedrooms and bathrooms he wanted.
With Cada going for the record of youngest Main Event winner ever and Phil Ivey looking to surpass Daniel Negreanu on the all-time money leaderboard, we could be in for one heck of a historical final table.
