Gorodinsky Takes the Chip Lead in Two Hands

Stud Hi-Lo

Mike Gorodinsky: XxXx/4♠K♠7♦2♣/Xx
Brian Yoon: XxXx/3♥7♠J♣3♠/Xx
Christopher Claassen: XxXx/A♠K♣Q♦9♦ - folded

Christopher Claassen completed on third street and was called by Brian Yoon and Mike Gorodinsky.

Claassen bet again on fourth and both opponents called as all three players checked fifth.

Yoon took the lead on sixth and Gorodinsky called, while Claassen folded. Yoon bet again on seventh.

Gorodinsky now raised and Yoon called, only to be shown Q♠9♠2♠ by Gorodinsky for a winning flush.

Gorodinsky tangled with Scott Seiver the next hand.

Mike Gorodinsky: XxXx/8♠10♠5♠9♦/Xx
Scott Seiver: XxXx/A♠5♦6♠4♥/Xx

Seiver bet on every street down to seventh as Gorodinsky called. Gorodinsky bet out on seventh and Seiver leaned back in his chair.

"I'm going to need some time on this one," Seiver said as he took off his cap and began counting all the spades that had been folded so far. Several minutes went by before he folded, claiming he had aces and fours. Gorodinsky took the pot, and the chip lead, without showing.
