"Hey Gordo, the mustache looks amazing. You look like a '70s baseball player for the Cincinnati Reds," Scott Seiver yelled over to Mike Gorodinsky as he took his seat in the field.
Meanwhile at this table, Ryan Hoenig had opened to 3,000 in the cutoff and was called by Maximilian Schindler on the button and Brian Breck in the big blind.
The flop came 9♥4♣5♣ and Hoenig bet 4,000. Only Breck called to see the 2♠ turn.
Hoenig then bet another 12,500 and Breck again called. The river was the 7♣ and Breck led out for 31,000. Hoenig quickly folded and Breck took the pot.
