I feel like being in front after the WSOP in Vegas ended added some sort of strange pressure that I had to put up more results to maintain the lead rather than just go out there and grind as usual.”Gorodinsky also said he considers a lot of the players in the POY race to be good friends and being able to chase the title with them here in Berlin was a lot of fun.”It was a blast,” he said. “Shaun and Brian, specifically, I have known for many years now and all three of us are accomplished online players that all came out of the same period of poker progression, so it was pretty cool to see how far the three of us had come as epitomized by this tight race for POY. And Zinno, well, I don’t know him that well yet, but he seems about as nice as they come, and has been crushing this year, so it was a pleasure seeing his name at the top of the list as well.”Gorodinsky’s summer in Las Vegas included a win in the $50,000 Poker Players Championship, two other final table appearances and seven total cashes for upwards of $1.7 million in earnings. In the end, he collected 2251.
