Dan Torpey chuckles with friends around a poker table at Northern Quest Casino in Airway Heights.

“Joe Cada is on top of the poker world. Tuesday morning, the 21-year-old from Chesterfield Township became the youngest player to win the World Series of Poker Main Event in its 40-year history. After 88 hands and nearly 3 ½ hours of heads-up play in Las Vegas, the $8.5 million first-place prize that was neatly stacked on the table belonged to Cada.”
