Joe Cada is the Michigan resident who rose to fame in 2009 after becoming the youngest champion ever in the history of WSOP, winning the Main Event at the age of just 21.

Now he is the face of the WSOP MI who has just recently entered the Michigan online poker market.

Cada gave an exclusive interview to pokerfuse earlier this month talking about his new role and what excites him about the WSOP coming to the Michigan market.

According to the interview, Cada has plans to stream 2 to 4 days a week, so fans can tune into all the action.

“I’ll be streaming tournaments on WSOP.MI and also cash games. I’ll be streaming 2-4 days a week where I can interact with whoever wants to tune in and learn a thing or two and just interact with other players.”

When asked about the prospect of winning WSOP hardware from his home state, Cada told pokerfuse: “I am excited to be able to eventually win bracelets from my own home. Ever since I was a kid, I would always [look] forward to the time I’d be able to play the WSOP. I don’t travel to many poker stops, so being able to win a WSOP bracelet from home will be nice.”

Last week, a bill that would have created a problem gambling initiative in Kentucky, funded by $50 million from a $300 million settlement with PokerStars, failed to pass through the committee.

Flutter Entertainment, the parent company of PokerStars, agreed last September that they would pay the state $300 million to settle an 11-year dispute over-responsible gambling issues over online gambling that took place between 2006 and 2011.

What the $50 million earmarked for the problem gambling initiative will now be spent on instead remains to be seen, but it likely will go into the state’s general fund.

A bill that would have legalized online poker and sports betting in Kentucky also failed to make it out of committee.

“I’m disappointed. I am for sports betting. I want to make it clear that I did everything I could to get it passed, but I can’t force people to vote 'yes’ on something that they are opposed to,” Senate Majority Floor Leader Damon Thayer (R-Georgetown) said last week.
