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.

Caraba:
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:
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.
It's a cooler...
Caraba: at risk with
Cody: dominating with
Romanians: "Ace! Ace! Ace!"
Flop:
Brits: "Hold! Hold! Hold!"
Turn:
Romanians: "AAAAAAACE!!!!"
River:
Ladies and gentlemen, we are down to one.
Cody's turning point was busting Hugo Lemaire's pocket kings on Day 4 with the humble
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.
