Gorodinsky Borrows Taylor's Hat, Immediately Gets Wrecked

Seven Card Stud

Brad Ruben: AA/9QAA/6
Mike Gorodinsky: XxXx/97J5/Xx

Esther Taylor arrived today wearing a sequined fedora, putting her own spin on Shaun Deeb's now infamous sequined black ball cap. During the break, Taylor let her friend Mike Gorodinsky borrow the hat for some luck and fun.

Gorodinsky has since given the hat back. Here's why.

After Gorodinsky completed, he called a raise by Brad Ruben to his immediate left.

On fourth street Ruben bet and got called by Gorodinsky. Ruben bet again on fifth but then got raised by Gorodinsky. Ruben called and the duo went to sixth with a rapidly growing pot.

Ruben paired open aces on sixth and led out again, this time just getting a call from Gorodinsky.

On seventh street, Ruben checked and Gorodinsky now bet. Ruben came back with a check-raise that left Gorodinsky frustrated as he put in calling chips and told Ruben he had a straight.

Ruben showed that he had made quad aces to take down the massive pot and leave Gorodinsky on a short stack.

Gorodinsky immediately got up after the pot and walked over to Taylor, placing her hat back on her head and explaining the reason why.

Gorodinsky then returned to his table hatless and with a lot fewer chips.
