Mike Gorodinsky Eliminated in 6th Place ($30,169)

Mike Gorodinsky  - 6th Place
Mike Gorodinsky - 6th Place

Omaha

The last hand of Mike Gorodinsky's tournament was during a round of Omaha. It was Vanessa Selbst who dealt the fatal blow to Gorodinsky, with Gorodinsky getting all his chips in on a {k-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Hearts} flop.

Gorodinsky held {k-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} for two-pair, while Selbst held {a-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} for plenty of draws. The {5-Hearts} on the turn was the gin card for Selbst, giving her the straight-flush wheel. At this point Gorodinsky shook his opponent's hands and left as he was drawing dead.

Selbst is currently sitting with a huge chip lead, having more than two times the amount of her nearest competitor.

Selbst Booming; Chambers Struggling

Stud 8

Vanessa Selbst has taken down yet another hand, this time against Thomas Chambers. Here is how the cards looked.

Selbst: {x-}{x-} / {6-Hearts}{7-Spades}{7-Clubs}{a-Hearts} / {x-}
Chambers: {x-}{x-} / {4-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} / {x-}

We caught the action from fifth street, with Selbst check-calling a bet from Chambers. Both players then checked sixth street and Selbst led on seventh street. Chambers thought hard, before eventually making the call.

When Selbst tabled {7-Hearts}{2-Spades}{4-Clubs}, her trips for the high pot and seventy-six for the low were good enough to send Chamber's cards into the muck, leaving him as the short stack.
