three bet 81 POY points to beat runner-up Hastings by a slim 129.28.While he will be headed to the 2016 WSOP in Las Vegas to play again, Gorodinsky said winning POY is a tough grind that takes a lot of luck and while he’s proud of the accomplishment, defending this title may not be in the cards.”In order to win POY – not just for me, but for anyone – you have to be incredibly lucky for the duration of the series,” he said. “Not to take away from any past winners, or from myself for that matter, but you don’t just go on a tournament tear because you’re the best in the world. You do it with a lot of hard work, good play, and a hot run of cards. “As for 2016, as I sit here in the hotel room, sure, I’m envisioning myself trying to make a run for a repeat performance. But realistically, Vegas is such a grind and there’s so much action away from the tournament scene that if I don’t start off on a bit of a tear again, I’ll probably settle into my usual routine of 10 to 20 bigger buy-in events and then otherwise a summer dedicated to cash games.”As the 2015 WSOP Europe rolls on, be sure to stay tuned to PokerNews for continued coverage, including regular 888 Hand of the Day articles.Want to stay atop all the latest in the poker world?
