Medic Movin' Back Up

Nenad Medic working hard

Nenad Medic limped into the pot from early position, and Elie Sokhn did the same, creating a three-way pot with the inclusion of the big blind.

The flop came out {K-Clubs} {A-Diamonds} {4-Spades}. and the first two men checked to Sokhn. He fired 700 at the pot, enough to fold the big blind. Medic made the call though, and the {6-Spades} hit the turn. This time, Nenad elected to lead out into the pot with a bet of 1,200. "I call," said Sokhn quickly, flicking the calling chips into the pot one by one.

The river card came the {5-Diamonds}, and Medic slid another 1,600 chips into the middle. Sokhn was not so quick this time, but he eventually made the call. Medic showed {A-Hearts} {9-Hearts}, and that was enough to pick up some more fightin' chips. After starting the day in the wrong direction, he's back on the upward swing. He has worked his short stack of about 6,000 back up close to his starting count of 30,000.
