LAS VEGAS, NEVADA – After only a few hands into the WSOP heads-up final and the logger from Maryland, Darvin Moon, has already taken the chip lead from Joe Cada.

The first hand of the night was the biggest of Moon’s victories when he called Cada’s pre-flop raise of 3.5 million.

The flop fell 3s-Ks-2d and Cada shot 3.5 million into the center. Moon didn’t hesitate to grab two large stacks of chips and push them forward for a raise to 10 million. Cada called.

The turn came the Ad and Cada checked to Moon who returned with another 10 million. Cada inst-called.

The river was a Kc and both players check and Moon showed Qs-Qd and Cada showed 9d-9c.

Moon continued this little burst of momentum which ended up bringing him into a slight lead by about 15 million.
