Mike Gorodinsky Eliminated in 2nd Place ($185,095)
Level 25
No-Limit Hold'em
Down to just over 1.1 million and on the button, Mike Gorodinsky glanced at his stack a few times before pushing all in. Ben Diebold wasted no time at all and once more called instantly.
Mike Gorodinsky: 
Ben Diebold: 
The pocket pair remained ahead on the 
flop and 
turn. Gorodinsky had plenty of outs with his two overcards, gutshot and counterfeit outs. However, none of them appeared on the 
river to end his bid for a third WSOP gold bracelet. Gorodinsky had to settle for second place and takes home $185,095 while Diebold has secured his first gold bracelet and a payday of $299,488.
