2009 WSOP Heads-up Play Begins

Darvin Moon and Joe Cada square off before the 2009 WSOP Heads-up action.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – WSOP Commissioner Jeffrey Pollack opened the ceremonies with a short speech that left pretty much everyone in the media room scratching their heads when he proclaimed this WSOP Final Table to be the most exciting ever played out.

Apparently Jeffrey wasn’t watching during the two four hour periods where absolutely nothing of note happened over the 17 hour Final Table. Although to be fair, the edited down ESPN coverage might end up being particularly good.

Following that, tournament direct Jack Effel took the mic and got the crowd worked up by asking who they were cheering for.

“If you want to see Darvin Moon win the bracelet let me hear you!” he called.

This was followed by a smattering of cheers and an overwhelming amount of booing. Joe Cada with a huge cheering section, is clearly a crowd favourite.

Cards are in the air now so stay tuned to the Cake Poker Blog for more live updates.
