This was billed as youth verses age.  Both players being new to the World Series of Poker. Both having beat out some of the best-known names in poker to be here for the final round.

Devine Moon, the lumberjack and Joe Cada, the college drop out turned poker pro. One simply wearing his favorite NFL team’s hat, the other decked out in his sponsor’s clothing line.

Cada came into the final round with a unbelievable chip lead.  Almost 3 to 1 against Moon.  Cada showed up with a large fan base where Moon came with a few friends and relatives.

Moon is a very stoic, cold-faced player against a usually very animated and a bit jumpy Cada.  Except the final round saw two men seriously focused on a game of poker.  In fact they never really exchanged any conversation until an hour into the game.

With some amazing swings in chip counts and plays, it took three hours of play before Cada finally swept the pot and took the prize.

In all the interviews, both players said the same thing when asked about winning.  They came here for the jewelry.  The money was secondary.  They wanted the bracelet more than the money.  It’s about the bling!!

TVT Sports sends out our warm congratulations to the winners for giving us fans a very exciting weekend of Poker competition and enjoy the bling!!

Don’t let anyone fool you.  It’s not about the $8.5 million.  It’s not about the title “WSOP World Champion”… Nope… tonight’s battle between a young college drop out and self-employed logger is all about the bling, baby!!

The pile of cash in front of them meant nothing.  It really never does.  The jewelry is what they play for.  Something they can flash in front of their friends and foes.  A piece of history they can leave to their children or the pawn broker, depending on their post WSOP life.

Tonight’s battle is also about styles.  The age difference and style of play.  As with any poker game, anybody can play and anybody can win.  There is no One Way to play it.

Here we have Darvin Moon. A straight forward, cold as steel looking guy.  An everyday man’s man who never played in a WSOP tournament until this year.  And he played it all the way to the end.

He is going against Joe Cada.  A kid raised in the digital age, who has a crazy way of acting and probably is AHDD to the max.  He pissed off a few players along the way to the table tonight because of his antics and sometimes crazy behavior.  But it all paid off.  He is here tonight as chip leader.

So who will win??  It’s really anybody’s guess.  Just by the pure chip count 58,000 to 139,000.  Again I say: it’s not about the money.  It’s about the Bling.

When you are at this level of play, your life has already changed.  With sponsors, potential sponsors, endorsement offers and the chances of more lucrative payouts down the road… Why stress out about the chip count?  Why play all night??  Call it a short night, go all in and meet up at the bar afterward for a celebratory toast.

Hmmm… it’s either going to be a really long night into morning… Or we will be home before last call..  Well, if Vegas has a last call…

Replay will be on ESPN tomorrow starting at 9pm/est
