Joe Cada Tried and Failed

gepostet 2011-06-19 01:19 GMT

While we were walking around this massive field we found Joe Cada dictating the action at his table by raising 600 preflop. He received two callers.

On a flop Cada continued his aggresssion with a 1,600 chip bet. One player folded, but the other sat in silence for a minute or so. Cada's opponent then aggressively announced "all in!" and Cada instantly mucked.
