Jake Cody (born 4 July 1988) is a professional poker player from Rochdale, England, United Kingdom. He burst on to the European tournament scene in 2010 with major wins at the European Poker Tour event in Deauville in January where he won €857,000 and the main event of the World Poker Tour London in August where he pocketed a further £273,783.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 WPT London 2011 results )〕 Cody revealed in an interview with Bluff Europe magazine that he started his online career by depositing just $10 and hasn't made a further deposit since. The Rochdale native was studying psychology at university before giving up his studies to play poker professionally, a decision that didn't initially sit well with his parents. He puts his success down to hard work, regularly playing 12 hours days and constantly reading about poker, posting on forums and discussing hands and strategy with fellow players, something he says is crucial to developing as a player. He enjoyed his first minor tournament success with a small cash in the Grosvenor UK Poker Tour side event in Manchester in April 2009 and also made the money in the maiden UK and Ireland Poker Tour (UKIPT) event in Galway in December 2009. Cody's professional career really took off a month later when the youngster outlasted a field of 768-runners to take the €5,000 EPT Deauville Main Event for a massive €857,000 pay day. Cody had a relatively quiet time on the tournament circuit with a few small cashes at UKIPT events before completing the second part of poker's triple crown after winning the World Poker Tour event in London. Cody beat Sweden's Nichlas Mattsson heads up in the £5,000 buy-in event at the Palm Beach Casino to take home the £273,783 first prize.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 World Poker Tour Jake Cody bio )〕 Cody's impressive achievements were recognised by the judging panel of the European Poker Awards where he was named the Poker Player of the Year and the Rookie of the Year. He was unable to attend the ceremony at the Aviation Club de France in Paris on 13 February as he was playing in the £1,500 High Roller tournament at the UKIPT event Nottingham. He beat a final table that included Dave 'Devilfish' Ulliott to take the title and the £34,200 first prize.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Hendon Mob 2011 UKIPT Nottingham High Roller )〕 On 4 June 2011, he completed the triple crown by winning his first WSOP Bracelet.
