A Reunion of Sorts

MrCleverFox

Niveau 21 : 10,000/20,000, 3,000 ante

It's been nine years since Joe Cada won the Main Event back in 2009 and while he earned the recognition and the glory after taking down Darvin Moon heads up, there was another player at the final table who is still left in the field as well. James Akenhead came 9th in 2009 taking home a prize of $1,263,602 for his run in the event while Cada took home $8,546,435 for winning.

And now, by the luck of the draw, the two are having a reunion of sorts except this time, Cada is the one with the short stack with just under 500,000 chips and Akenhead sits healthy with a stack of almost 2.4 million. The two are both seated just two seats away from eachother in the Amazon Orange section at table 525.

As players are already deep into this Main Event which has a massive field size, it is quite impressive to see these two once again, trading blows across the table as there is sure to be an interesting dynamic between them.

Joueur	Jetons	Progression
James Akenhead	2,385,000 198,000	198,000
Joe Cada	495,000 -64,000	-64,000
