[user66118]

The final two contestants are back in their chairs and all eyes are upon them as the heads-up duel continues.

First One to Caraba

[user46392]

Back to business, and Cody opened from the button. Caraba reraised to 2 million, Cody folded, and all the Romanians in the room applauded.

Cody Gets Two Back

[user46392]

Jake Cody, back on the button, raised to 670,000 and Teodor Caraba made the call. First flop of the level!

Flop: {3-Clubs}

Caraba checked, and Cody bet 770,000. Caraba gave it up, Cody smiled slyly, and the pot went to the Brit.

---

Next hand, Caraba raised to 800,000 from the button only for Cody to make it 2 million to go. Caraba passed, and Cody's buddies seemed to wake up just at this moment - a loud, distinctively English cheer rose up from the rail as he raked in the pot.

Caraba Stops Messing

[user46392]

Jake Cody made another preflop raise to 670,000 - and this time Caraba announced all in.

Insta-fold!

"Yayyyyyy!!!" came the Romanian war cry from the rail.

Popularity Contest

[user46392]

The railers have been challenged to a cheering contest!

Brits: "Seven-four, seven-four, seven-four!"

Romanians: it was in Romanian, but we think it was "Gloooooria! Glooooooooria!"

The Romanians not only have a slight edge on numbers and therefore volume, but they also chose to sing a paean to our own Gloria Balding. We presume. Plus they have a flag.

On this basis, we declare Romania the winners!

Cody Picks One Up on the Turn

[user140525]

Jake Cody raised preflop, and Teodor Caraba called.

Flop: {K-Spades}

- check/check

Turn: {J-Hearts}

- Caraba bet out 700,000, and Cody reraised to 2 million. Caraba mucked, and Cody tossed away his cards with a smirk. "Show the bluff! Show the bluff!" shouted his fans, but it was on to the next hand.

Cody Doubles to Massive Chip Lead

[user46392]

Teodor Caraba raised from the button, and Jake Cody now reraised. Caraba shoved to cover, Cody quickly called all in for 9.89 million in total, and they were on their backs.

Cody: {8-Clubs}

Caraba: a rather weaker {5-Clubs}

Board:

The two clubs on the turn made Cody sweat, but the eights held up and he doubled to a commanding 19.78 million. Caraba was left with just 2.96 million. This could be over soon...
