It Ain't Over Yet

A couple hands later and Caraba shipped his mini-stack in. Cody made the call.

Teodor Caraba: {Q-Hearts} {6-Diamonds}
Jake Cody: {A-Clubs} {4-Hearts}

Board: {2-Clubs} {6-Spades} {K-Clubs} {4-Spades} {J-Clubs}

The Romanian rail joyfully chanted something intelligible to non-Romanians. Though still the short stack by about three to one, Caraba is back in the game.

...And Back to Even

Next hand, Cody open shipped, Caraba snap called. This time Caraba was very definitely in front.

Cody: {K-Spades} {6-Clubs}
Caraba: {A-Spades} {K-Clubs}

The Brits were shouting for a six. The Romanians were shouting for an ace. Cody and Caraba were grinning at each other. This is like pantomime.

Board: {Q-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {5-Spades} {J-Diamonds}

The ace kicker was good and Caraba doubled up again, this time to 10.64 million. With Cody on 12.1 million, it is anyone's game.

Teodor Caraba made it 800,000 from the button. Jake Cody reraised him to 1.76 million. Caraba shipped for 9.54 million, and Cody couldn't call any faster.

It's a cooler...

Caraba: at risk with {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts}
Cody: dominating with {K-Clubs} {K-Diamonds}

Romanians: "Ace! Ace! Ace!"

Flop: {10-Spades} {7-Spades} {10-Clubs}

Brits: "Hold! Hold! Hold!"

Turn: {4-Diamonds}

Romanians: "AAAAAAACE!!!!"

River: {Q-Diamonds}

Ladies and gentlemen, we are down to one.

Jake Cody Wins the 2010 EPT Deauville! (€847,000)

Winner!

Well folks, that's a wrap. After six days, 768 runners, 33 levels and a whole load of adrenalin, Jake Cody has been crowned 2010 EPT Deauville champion in a shower of silver confetti.

Cody's turning point was busting Hugo Lemaire's pocket kings on Day 4 with the humble {10-?} {4-?} offsuit to propel him to big stack status, and it is perhaps fitting that those same cowboys that he cruelly outdrew should win him the title a day later. The 21-year-old former psychology student from Rochdale in the UK was playing his first ever EPT here in Deauville, and we can be certain that we will be seeing a lot more of him on the circuit in future.

Indeed it has been a vintage final table all round, with a slew of big names and an interesting smattering of extremely talented young poker stars of tomorrow, and can be taken as proof that the near-perfect structure of the EPTs means that the cream almost always rises to the top.

Thanks to all the staff from the EPT and Casino Barriere for a fantastic six days of poker, and congratulations to all the winners. We'll be back on the EPT trail in Copenhagen in just a few weeks' time, but until then, from all of us here in Deauville, it's over and out.
