Medic Off Life Support

After raising to 500 preflop, Nenad Medic watched a flop of {Q-Spades} {K-Hearts} {7-Spades} roll out on the board. He continued out with another 800 chips, and Elie Sokhn was the lone caller.

Fourth street came the {Q-Clubs}, and Medic fired another 1,300. After some debate, Sokhn came along with another call. The river card brought the {10-Hearts} and another bet from Medic. He fired 3,100 this time, and Sokhn would spend some time in the tank. For a while, it looked as if he might move all in as he gathered all of his chips into one neat stack. After several minutes though, he elected to just smooth call.

Medic flipped over {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}, eliciting a shocked look from Sokhn. He open-mucked his {8-Diamonds} {8-Spades}, not good enough. Medic has picked up a much-needed pot, moving back up just over 15,000.
