How is Our Champion Doing?
When Jake Cody won EPT Deauville in 2010, it kick started what would be a fantastic year for the 22-year-old. Cody is now the most famous face to come out of Rochdale since Lisa Stansfield.
He is currently sat on 22,000 chips after a few little tussles with Frenchman Pierre Lelandais. Firstly, Lelandais raised to isolate an early position limper when he made it 1,625 to play from the cut-off and Cody made the three-bet on the button. We are not sure how much he made it but the presence of the 5k grey chip was enough to force the Frenchman to fold.
Then, in almost identical hand, Cody again three-bet Lelandais in position. I say, almost identical, because this time Lelandais four-bet forcing the fold from Cody. Lelandais showed a just to prove a point to the young champion that he wasn't going to allow him push him around.
