2009 WSOP Champ robbed - by his own friend!

Tags: 2009 wsop, friends, joe cada, main event, robbed.
Posted on 09 August 2010 by "T".

Joe Cada, 22, wrote poker history last year when he became the youngest player ever to win the WSOP Main Event. For the win he received nothing less than $8.5 million, however, he only got to keep half of his winnings because he was staked by some friends. 

According to many interviews with Joe Cada after the win, he has been very careful with the remaining part of the winnings and it also seems like he has tried to live an ordinary life, even though he's rich and famous. Sometimes, however, it doesn't seem enough to keep a very low profile, at least if we should believe what Joe Cada wrote on his Facebook a while ago.


"I love how people take advatage of being my friend. I always help when it's needed, but sometimes it's not enough. Numerous times I have caught friends stealing from me." wrote Joe Cada on Facebook.

he continues..

"Today, I got to know that a friend, who I can mention by name, stole a checkbook from me about 4 months ago and used it to cash huge amounts of money with my signature." 

Joe Cada never reviled how much money his friend had stolen from him, but it seemed like he was very upset about it. And who can blame him for that? However, he removed the post not long after. Maybe his friend, who stole the checkbook, contacted him and gave an explanation? Let's hope that we get to hear more about this in the near future.

when he does not miss the chque book, and even not higher amounts of money in his account, it can not be really hurting him. but in anyway, my friends always are depositing money in my account... love blackmail hehe

Didnt like the way he got lucky several times in FT wsop 09´ so not going to give my symphaty to him lol.
Id rather be ashamed to declare it to the whole world that the only friends I have, rob behind me. Instead of taking down a good tourney and writing about that, he writes how his friends rob him - really dont care about his personal life Cool

You would think that a pokerplayer at the higher levels is good at:

A. Riskanalysis. That is, he would not leave his checkbook out.

B. Reading people. That is, he would not let a person that is capable of stealing from a friend near his checkbook.

It seems as it failed in both cases here? Shock

Friendship is an illusion.

is it too much to ask that a blogger learn how to spell or use spell check?
 Assad9116/08/2010 07:24:58 GMT
in one way it would kinda suck to win so much, cause you know everyone would use you. even if that's not their intention it would happen.

A very big teptation leaving a cheque book to a fat account where someone can access it. Easy come, easy go, I guess.
 Sapoazul14/10/2010 12:02:34 GMT
Nice friends... I believe that will not occour to me wen I will be rich... I know to "read" qhen the person is good or bad.. and I only will accept the company of good people...
 BMan9814/10/2010 13:13:03 GMT
That's why I intend to stay poor for the rest of my life. That way you know that your friends are true friends, and there is nothing for them to take from you anyway.
