Mike Gorodinsky remains in an early slump in the event where he notched a ninth-place finish last year. His most recent stumble came in the game that made him famous: PLO.
Gorodinsky was under the gun on a 
flop, and Frank Kassela bet into him for 800. Gorodinsky called, and he called another 3,000 on the 
turn. Kassela's final bullet was for 5,500 on the 
river, and Gorodinsky quickly called that as well.
