Final Table Interview: Jake Cody

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

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.
