Jake Cody Wins WPT London Main Event

September 05, 2010
The very first WPT London saw the British Jake ‘neverbluff67’ Cody finishing first, proving once again we can talk about something like “The Year of the Brit.” The 21-year-old pro made a huge step towards the coveted Triple Crown of poker, as he also won the EPT Deauville (earning €847,000) in January; there is only a WSOP title to go.
The chipleader of the 8-handed final table of the £5000+£300 event was Giovanni Safina with a slight advantage over Kristoffer Thorsson, who was also playing for PartyPoker’s $500,000+$500,000 additional prize for those making it to the WPT via their satellites. The final table was as follows:
