Biography and performances
Jake Cody was born in England in 1988. He first appeared on the international scene in 2010 when he won a €5000 buy-in event on the European Poker Tour. For his first position in this event, which took place in France, Jake Cody won €857,000, which at the time represented around 1.2 million US dollars. The following year, he won his first World Series of Poker bracelet in the $25,000 Heads Up No Limit Hold'em Championship. That day, he won the prestigious bracelet and the $851,192 that went with it. Jake Cody is still active on the international scene and has accumulated over $4.5 million US in tournament winnings to date.
His association with PKR.com
With all his success, Jake attracted the attention of some poker rooms, including PKR.com. On November 17, 2011, he officially became a pro with the room. But the association was short-lived, as in January 2013, Cody officially announced that he was now a Team PokerStars pro. He made the announcement at the PokerStars Caribbean Adventure in the Bahamas. Speaking of PokerStars, he could be seen playing regularly on the gaming room under the pseudonym "jakecody".
What does he do today?
Jake has since moved across the ocean to Los Angeles with his girlfriend. He still plays poker, and his last paid finishes in major events date back to 2023. Back then, he had a blog on YouTube in which he told us about his life as a poker player, but 5 years have already passed since the last publication. You can follow him on X as he describes himself as the youngest poker player ever to win the triple crown. We're talking about victory in the 3 most prestigious live poker series: World Series of Poker, World Poker Tour and European Poker Tour.
