Jake Cody takes down the $25,000 n/l heads up event at WSOP..Has now become only the third player in history to achieve the triple crown. Joins Gavin Griffin, and Roland De Wolfe in pokers elite to take down a WPT, WSOP and EPT title. Awesome to do this at such a young age aswell, must be feeling on top of the world right now.
-
$851k is a nice little earner, well done that man.
-
The kid"s on a heater... fair play!
-
i know a few people who have played against or spoken to him, supposed to be real sound and genuine. Amazing that he hasnt got a sponsorship deal yet.
-
Why on earth would he need sponsorship/staking ??? Seems like he has it sussed already , wp wp wp :)
-
Full Tilt are looking for players, on the downside they dont get paid
-
he"s up 2.5 million in tourney earnings at least. he don"t need any deals

Would like to see him sign up with Black Belt if he is thinking of sponsorship...

LOL, so u reckon if stars come knocking hes gonna turn them away.
-
I assume he has backers?
even with his recent run would he be paying his own buyins at this level?
-
Yes I think he would turn down the likes of Stars. Atm anyway, because no doubt he"s already been offered and the lack of stars merchandise on him indicates that he hasn"t accepted.
He buys himself in but does sell shares of his BI.
-
The word is James Bord had a big piece of him
-
Thing is, he may be on a heater at the moment, but that won"t/can"t last at the level he"s at.... his win-ratio has to decline over time, and at that point, his worth to a sponsor decreases hence so does any deal he signs...... surely best to sign a deal with a sponsor now that ties him in to a long term earnings profile that is based on his current massive profile and win-ratio.
-
He must have been plagued prior to the FT to have patches stuck all over him. So someone is probably advising him to say no or he has some kind of non site agreement behind the scenes that he"s happy with. Let"s face it he"s not Darvin Moon.
We could just ask Maylis to ask him ;D
-
Pretty sure patches are banned from FT"s this yr.

Yes Jake is very down to earth and deserves every success, even this much.

Yeah i was thinking that myself... worked out i guess.. on the other side, was it a good call?? i guess previous situations must of played a big part part in the call... also i dunno if Jake had used his extra add on/ons? and decided to try and end it there... either way i couldnt see myself calling with A5 dunno what i could be beating in that play, unless timoshenko put him on KQ/KJ maybe.. even so dont like the call for a braclet and 850k!!

They"d both used their add-on token (judging by the size of the stacks). I guess with a 2:1 chip lead, 3 hours in, against Timoshenko who was raising every button, a shove with K9 is reasonably standard. He"s also shoved the previous in the same way and got it through. Not sure what the stack/blind ratio was though.
In terms of the call..... well, he knows that Jake is shoving a wide range..... with a 2:1 deficit he can"t afford to get steam-rollered - gotta make a stand at some point, and he has an ace!
-
I don"t think I am in any position to question his play, he is a triple crown winner! (I"m not :( )
the odds on his hand was 43/57 dog.
I think it was a good play from Jake. He cant call if Timoshenko shoves. Timoshenko can fold. If he gets a call he probably knows that most of the time he is essentially flipping to take it there and then. A lot of people will fold a5 in this spot.
I think Timoshenko makes the questionable call here. I think the call is bad as he is not in control of the hand and there are a lot better hands that will be shoving in this spot, however Steve is right and he has to make a stand sometime and got it in good, not great.
-
I thought initially that it was pretty bad by both, rolling dice for a bracelet. However, I"ve realised that Blinds were up to 80,000 / 160,000, with stacks at 4,332,000 & 2,068,000, which I suppose is the justification for the play.
Timoshenko had used both of his add-ons, whereas Cody hadn"t used any, so I guess that also gives him a free hit.

Yes im sure this is why the hand played out the way it did... also i believe Cody had shoved all in the previous 2 hands

Elky... Ships braclet, to become 4th ever Triple crown winner MBN!!

Crowd is awful imo. No need for that in poker at all.
-
I don"t see the problem with the play. The only one i"d question would be Timoshenko limping in with the A-5, then contemplating whether to call the shove. I"d either be shoving myself here or snapping him off when he shoves. Why else limp in with it?
Aside from that, don"t see an issue. Cody is playing very aggressive. A-5 may be pretty weak but against someone like Cody if you"re folding all the time in these spots when he shoves he"s going to run you over.
-
A5 is a powerhouse given the number of times that Jake 3 bet shoved. I watched it at the time and thought it was a great nit roll.
-
If anyone had watched the whole match this was as standard as it gets.
It was ridic aggro and Cody admitted himself that he is better in ICM spots where he"s sub 20 bigs. He played to his strengths and it paid off big time.
Timo was virtually min raising every button and Jake was 3 betting something around 30% of pots which is huge.
So, in these circumstances when the might K9 suited meets the monster that is A5o there"s only one place where all the chips are going.
And after that- with the 18 months Jake has had, there was only ever one winner.....
