Smith Doubles Through Cody

Kevin Taylor

Level 12 : 600/1,200, 200 ante

As we were walking back to the media desk from that Sam Stein double up, we caught another big hand between bracelet winner Gavin Smith and recently triple crown winner Jake Cody. The flop read {9-Clubs} {7-Spades} {10-Diamonds} , and Smith was all in for around 30,000. Cody cut out the chips for the call, and saw that he had about 41,000 behind. After about a minute of thought, he slid the chips in for the call, and saw that he was ahead when they tabled their cards.

Smith: {8-Clubs} {8-Spades}
Cody: {j-Spades} {10-Hearts}

The turn kept Cody in the lead, when it came the {4-Hearts} , but the river came the {j-Hearts} , giving Cody two pair, but Smith an unbeatable straight. Smith doubled up to 70,000, while Cody dipped below the average stack in the room.
