Cody in the Christmas Spirit

Jake Cody
Jake Cody

Jake Cody might've lost half his stack but he's still in a jolly old mood. I guess it's hard not to be happy wearing a Christmas jumper as cool as the one pictured.

Cody opened a pot 500 from the cut-off and was called by Candido Goncalves
on the button and the big blind. The flop fanned {9-Hearts}{6-Spades}{a-Hearts} and Goncalves called Cody's 650 c-bet. The big blind folded and the remaining two players checked the {j-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} river through. Goncalves opened {a-Spades}{q-Diamonds} and took the pot as Cody mucked.

This is the former EPT Deuville winner's first time in Prague. He's very excited to get to visit the the Christmas market this week. Aren't we all?

Brammer Doubles; Staszko Gone

An under-the-gun player opened for 525 and cleared the field all the way to the player in the small blind, who three-bet to 1,500. Chris Brammer then called from the big blind, the original raiser folded, and it was heads-up to the {9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop. The small blind proceeded to check-call a bet of 2,200, and then both players checked the {A-Clubs} turn.

When the {2-Diamonds} peeled off on the river, the small blind checked and Brammer moved all in for 10,250. The small blind quickly called and tabled {10-Diamonds}{10-}, but it was no good as Brammer held {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}.

Meanwhile, the Czech Republic's Martin Staszko, who you may remember as the runner-up in the 2011 World Series of Poker Main Event, was eliminated after running kings into aces.

Mericer The Multitasker

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

Jason Mercier may be seated at one of the toughest tournament tables in recent history, but that has not stopped him from multitasking like a boss!

The Team PokerStars Pro is currently grinding a table of high stakes mixed games on his iPad whilst texting friends, family, horses at the same time.

Makiievskyi Heads For The Exits

Anton Makiievskyi's tournament just came to an abrupt end over on Table 33.

John Eames opened the betting with a 500 raise and he was initially called by Elie Saad on the button then Philip Junghuber called on the button. Makiiiesvsky was the big blind and he called too.

The foursome shared a {2-Clubs}{8-Spades}{9-Diamonds} flop, Makiievskyi checking to Eames, who then continued with a 1,100 bet. Saad got out of the way, but Junghuber called and put the action back on Makiievskyi. The Ukrainian waited 10 seconds before check-raising to 4,000. Eames let his hand go but Junghuber called.

The turn was the {K-Spades} and Makiievskyi bet 6,000. Junghuber looked at how many chips Makiievskyi — around 12,000 — had before putting him all-in. Makiievskyi called and the cards were revealed.

Makiievskyi: {9-Spades}{8-Clubs}
Junghuber: {7-Spades}{6-Spades}

The dealer placed the flush completing {J-Spades} on the river and as Junghuber stacked his new chips, Makiievskyi headed for the exits.

The turn was the {7-Diamonds}, and Carroll quickly checked. Abecassis bet 1,700, avd Caroll called.

Hellman Finds a Double

There was a raise to 575 from early position, and five callers, including Jonatan Hellman and Mike Gagliano. Sergej Barbarez, who won his entry into this tournament via a live satellite, squeezed out of the small blind, raising to 3,250.

The original raiser released, Hellman moved all in for 12,500, and the action folded back to Barbarez, who called.

Barbarez: {j-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}
Hellman: {a-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Hellman jumped out into the lead when the flop fell {q-Spades}{k-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}, and successfully doubled as the turn and river came {2-Hearts}, {a-Spades} respectively.

With all of the dead money in the pot, Hellman more than doubled to around 29,000 chips.
