Cody Flush With Chips

Jake Cody
Jake Cody

Jake Cody made it 2,600 to go from under-the-gun and action folded around to the small blind, who made the call for a heads-up pot.

The flop came {J-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{K-Spades} and the player in the small blind check-called a 2,900 bet from Cody.

Both players checked the {10-Spades} turn, however when the {4-Spades} completed the board, Cody's opponent led out for 7,500. Cody tanked for a bit, but then slid out a raise to 20,000 and change. His opponent thought it over for a bit over a minute and announced, "Call." Cody tabled {6-Spades}{9-Spades} for a runner-runner flush and his opponent mucked without showing.

Cody is up to 90,000 after that one.

Double Up For Ivey

Phil Ivey opened to 2,400 from the button and directly behind him, the player in the small blind three-bet to 6,800. It was folded back to Ivey, who asked for a count before announcing he was all in for about 24,000 total. His opponent called and hands were turned up.

Ivey: {A-Spades}{K-Diamonds}
Opponent: {10-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}

The {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}{K-Hearts} flop left Ivey's opponent shaking his head. The {Q-Spades} turn and {4-Hearts} river kept Ivey in the lead and he doubled through.

Four Fives Equal Three Knockouts for Russell

Warren Russell
Warren Russell

"Seat open, 432! Seats 3... 4... and 6!"

The six remaining players at Table 432 are currently waiting for players to arrive to fill the suddenly vacated seats around their table, thanks to huge hand won by Warren Russell.

A player holding {A-}{9-} open-shoved and ended up seeing a couple of others push all in behind him, one holding {K-Spades}{K-Hearts} and the other {J-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}. The action on Russell, he looked down to see {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} and decided to play along.

The flop came {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades} and the original raiser had the lead. But the turn was the {5-Clubs} and the river the {5-Diamonds}, giving Russell quad fives and a rare triple-knockout.

Russell looks to be our chip leader after than one, creating a bit of space between himself and the chasing pack.
