Final Table Interview: Jake Cody
Eight players remain here in the $1,000 Turbo No-Limit Hold��em event. After eliminating Russell Crane, Team PokerStars Pro and Triple Crown winner Jake Cody is sitting near the top second in chips with around 1.1 million �� around 300,000 chips behind leader Daniel Bishop.
We briefly had an opportunity to chat with Cody before the final table began.
How do you prefer the Turbo over a regular structured event?
Day 1 was really fast but today was played out like a normal tournament. I think the structure of this event was perfect and feel like all the $1,000 or even $1,500 events should have this structure. You lose a lot of players in Day 1, which is great and it��s not a hyper-tournament, so it keeps a good frame.
Is there any moment that helped to get you to the final table?
I came back today to a little above average in chips. I had aces against Noah Vaillancourt��s tens and have been going up from there. It was a pretty crucial moment from that point.
Do you prefer the European Poker Tour over the WSOP?
I think the EPT tour is actually my favorite tour because of the dealers, the location and everything else. At the time same the WSOP is really exciting and it��s fun to see everyone trying to win a bracelet. Their both great tours but I think I slightly prefer the EPT but I��m not at all taking away from the series.
