Medic Wins Somes, Loses More

The ladies love Nenad.
The ladies love Nenad.
Back-to-back hands didn't go so well for Nenad Medic. In position, he called a preflop raise to 5,700 by Daniel Negreanu. Both men cautiously checked a flop of {Q-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. On the turn {K-Hearts}, Negreanu checked again, then quickly folded to a bet of 10,700.

That pot pushed Medic's count to 161,000, but he fell to 90,000 shortly thereafter. With 40,000 in the pot, Medic check-called a bet of 17,000 with the board showing {3-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} {10-Clubs}. When the river fell {8-Hearts}, Medic led out for 31,700. His opponent raised to 80,000 after about 90 seconds. Medic visibly ran through all of the permutations in his head as to what he might be up against, glanced back at his hand one last time, and then mucked it.
