Poker Pro Mike Gorodinsky's $422K Win Overshadowed by Missing Safe Deposit Box Contents

Mike Gorodinsky, a seasoned poker player, recently secured his third WSOP bracelet in the $10,000 H.O.R.S.E. Championship, earning a substantial $422,747 in prize money. However, his victory was overshadowed by a peculiar incident involving his safe deposit box at the Bellagio.

On June 1, Gorodinsky took to Twitter to report that the contents of his safe deposit box had mysteriously vanished. The box, intended for securely storing money and valuables, had been compromised, leaving Gorodinsky in a predicament. His followers swiftly offered a range of suggestions, from contacting law enforcement to reviewing casino surveillance footage. Some even speculated that the wrong box might have been placed in his numbered slot.

Gorodinsky, who had been busy grinding the WSOP tables and cashing in multiple events, finally provided an update following his victory. He revealed that the Bellagio's security process indicated he was the only person to access the box, making compensation unlikely. Despite this setback, Gorodinsky expressed hope for further discussions with MGM executives regarding the matter.
