Cody Has the Hand Mandic Hopes For

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

Jake Cody was in early position and bet 16,500 into a pot of 23,000 on {9-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{5-Hearts}. Goran Mandic called from the button. On the {5-Clubs} river, Cody mashed in the rest, enough to put Mandic at risk for 66,400. The Croatian player used a time extension.

"I can beat ace-queen," he mused.

After another five second, he called.

Cody smiled slightly and showed {a-}{q-}, mucking when Mandic turned over {k-Spades}{k-Clubs}.

Mandic won the €10,300 Single Reentry event that was one of the openers of PokerStars Championship Barcelona and is looking to bag an ever bigger score here.

Meijer van Putten Knocks Out Saout

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Jasper Meijer van Putten
Jasper Meijer van Putten

After a raise and several callers, Antoine Saout shoved all in for 15,600. Jasper Meijer van Putten called to his direct left, and Jake Cody called a few seats over as well.

The two active players checked the {3-Spades}{8-Clubs}{6-Spades} flop. On the {7-Clubs} turn, Meijer van Putten bet 22,000 and Cody called. On the {K-Spades} river, the EPT13 Prague winner bet 48,000, and the Team PokerStars Pro folded.

Meijer van Putten showed {K-Clubs}{K-Diamonds} for top set, Saout briefly flashed an unknown hand and headed for the rail.
