<p>That&#8217;s what we wanna know &#8230; after Saturday/Sunday&#8217;s marathon 9->2 session &#8230; how long do you think the heads-up battle between Darvin Moon and Joe Cada will go?</p>
<p>They&#8217;re currently in Level 39, with blinds at <strong>500k/1000k + 150k</strong>.</p>
<p>Moon has almost the same number of chips he started with, <strong>58,850,000</strong>, while Cada, who started with just 13,215,000, now has all the rest &#8212; <strong>135,950,000</strong>.</p>
<p>What they&#8217;re fighting for, essentially: $3.36 million in cash, and then everything else that goes with being WSOP champ.</p>
<p>NOTE: In our <a href="http://pokerati.com/polls/">previous unscientific poll</a>, Moon got the second-most votes &#8230; Cada fourth-most.</p>
<p>The record for WSOP heads-up battles is 7 hours 10 minutes, set by Chip Reese vs. Andy Bloch in 2006. Before that it was 7 hours, in the 1983 main event &#8230; where after Doyle Brunson busted out in 3rd on a semi-bluff, an unknown from Michigan, Tom McEvoy, beat Rod Peate for $580,000:</p>

<p>BTW, for a fun historical perspective, watch the start of the <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_boQ3iVPIYM">television coverage of the 1983 final table here</a>.</p>
