Level 5 : 200/400, 400 ante
Joe Cada Early in Day 1d
Joe Cada Early in Day 1d

Joe Cada opened to 1,000 from the cutoff and was three-bet to 2,600 by the player directly behind him on the button. Action folded back to Cada, who quickly slid a stack of 5,000 denomination chips into the middle. His opponent called off for less and hands were revealed.

Cada: {j-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}
Button: {7-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}

Cada was well out in front and would stay that way on the {a-Spades}{5-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} runout.

The 2009 WSOP Main Event winner is sitting pretty in the early stages of Day 1d with about 85,000 in chips.
