2010 World Series of Poker: On the Rail with Joe Cada

July 13 2010, Elaine Chaivarlis

We caught up with Joe Cada during Day 2 of his 2010 World Series of Poker Main Event and talked with the reigning champ about his life since winning and what he likes to do in Las Vegas.

How has your life changed since winning the World Series of Poker last year?

It hasn't changed too much. A little bit more traveling and interviews and pictures.

What was the biggest thing thing you've bought with the money?

Waverunners.

What has been your favorite event you've played this year?

The Main Event. It's the one I'm doing the best in.

What is your favorite thing about Las Vegas?

There are a lot of things to do.

Where is your favorite place to party in Las Vegas?

Probably Tryst.

If you don't go back to back with a win this year, give this year's Main Event winner one piece of advice.

Be yourself.

What is the craziest thing you've done in Las Vegas this trip?

Nothing. Nothing crazy.

What do you think of Peter Eastgate calling it quits? Would you ever consider it?

He has a lot of money, I don't blame him. It's not me, but I don't blame him.

Since winning, you've been thrust into the spotlight, with all the media outlets wanting to know what you've been up to, and there was that picture of you and Jayde Nicole at PCA that everyone was talking about, what do you think about that?

I think my personal life should be separated from poker.

Was their a limit on how many words he could answer in? Pointless interview, do we learn anything from what he says. I dont think Eastgate gave up poker because of the money, Cada has that all wrong. He comes across as a bit of twat to be honest. Eastgate is a far better person and far better poker player then cada. He didnt play like an idiot and get lucky on his final table like Cada he outplayed everyone. Sad to see Eastgate give it up, to me he is right up there with Mizarchi brothers, and Mercier as one of the finest MTT players.
