Tamsen sat down with Joe Cada who at age 21 years, 11 months, and 21 days, became the youngest world poker champion in the 40-year history of the World Series Of Poker.

Cada eclipsed Peter Eastgate's record by 340 days. Eastgate was age 22 years, 10 months, and 28 days when he won the WSOP last year. This was the first year Cada that was eligible to play in the WSOP Main Event because of his young age. Cada collected first-place prize money totaling $8,547,042.
