Joe Cada Is Poker Champ
LAS VEGAS, NV., Nov. 10 (TOTI) --

If Joe Cada had followed conventional wisdom, he wouldn't be where he is today. The 21 year old Cada dropped out of community college to follow the far-fetched goal of becoming a poker champ. Fortunately for him, that's exactly what happened.

Joe Cada is the youngest winner ever at the World Series of Poker's richest event.

Cada emerged from a crowded field of over 6,000 entrants to become the overall winner and take home a staggering $8.55 million of prize money.

Cada first started playing poker on the Internet at age 16. Later he left Macomb Community College in Michigan and became a professional gambler.

For anyone who told Cada he was nuts to drop out of school to play poker, he's got 8.55 million reasons to say they're wrong.
