Mike Gorodinsky has absolutely dominated this last round of stud-8, so much so that he has now taken the chip lead. In the first hand, Kristopher Tong brought in, and Gorodinsky raised it up. Tong then three bet it, and Gorodinsky called. On fourth street, Gorodinsky fired out, and Tong called. When Gorodinsky bet fifth, Tong shook his head, revealed 
in the hole, and folded his hand.

A couple of hands later, Tong brought in, and Gorodinsky raised it up. Tong called, and checked on fourth street. Gorodinsky fired out, and Tong check raised him. From that point on, Tong bet out every single street, and Gorodinsky called him down the whole way. When he was called on seventh, Tong simply gave up, mucking his hand without showing. Gorodinsky scooped the pot, and after that one, he has now taken the chip lead with 1.525 million.
