Gorodinsky Getting Shorter

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

Omaha-8

Mike Gorodinsky raised it up on the button, and Kristopher Tong made the call. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{j-Hearts}{6-Hearts}, and both players checked. The turn brought the {6-Clubs}, and this time, Tong led out. Gorodinsky called, and both players checked the {10-Diamonds} on the river.

Tong tabled {q-Clubs}{q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{10-Spades} for a pair of queens, and Gorodinsky peaked down at his hole cards, thought for a few moments, then kicked them in. After losing that pot, Gorodinsky is down to 550,000, which is just under seven big bets.

Tong Scoops Big Pot

Level 27 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

The players started the action a few minutes early from break, so we barely caught the action of what turned out to be a huge pot on the first hand back. Both players had a few big bets in front of them as the dealer finished out a {9-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{J-Spades} board. We saw Mike Gorodinsky bet out, and Tong shook his head as he put the call in. However, he ended up being good as he tabled {q-Spades}{10-Spades}{8-Spades}{8-Clubs} for eights full, giving a 1.7 million to 1.1 million chip advantage.

Gorodinsky Gets Key Scoop

Level 26 : 30,000/60,000, 7,000 ante

Omaha-8

Mike Gorodinsky raised from the button, and Kristopher Tong defended his big blind. The flop came down {q-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{7-Spades}, and Tong fired right out. Gorodinsky came in for a raise, and Tong made the call. The {2-Diamonds} hit the turn, and Tong led out yet again. This time, Gorodinsky just called, and the same thing happened when the scary looking {5-Spades} hit the river.

Tong tabled {q-Spades}{6-Spades}{5-} for a queen high flush and eight low, but neither was good, as Gorodinsky rolled over {k-Spades}{j-Spades}{4-Spades}{6-Diamonds} for a better flush and low. After winning that cooler, Gorodinsky is back up to 1.2 million, and is closing the gap on Tong.
