Cordero and Cody Clash

Alex Cordero
Alex Cordero

With tables breaking down at a rapid clip, Jake Cody has now been moved to Alex Cordero's table, which means two of the biggest stacks in the room are now sitting right across from one another. Just now came a hand in which it appeared the two might be clashing over a huge pot, though things ended a bit shy of that happening.

The hand began with Cody raising to 1,800 from the hijack seat, then Cordero pushing out stacks of black (100) chips to reraise to 4,600 from the small blind. Cody studied both his own and Cordero's stacks, then called.

The flop came {6-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Spades}, and Cordero again pushed out columns of black chips for a bet of 6,800. Cody paused a beat, and called the bet.

The turn then brought the {10-Diamonds}. This time Cordero was digging into his light blue (500) chips and betting 11,000, and as soon as he did Cody folded.
