Medici ... Busted

It seems like just a minute ago people were whispering about the staggering stack of Giorgio Medici that had grown to almost 400,000. And as Keyzer Soze once said, "And just like, he was gone."

We had been following the decline of Medici for about an hour but it seemed he had bounced back nearly doubling his stack in this level to just shy of 200,000. However, he put almost all of it at risk with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} preflop against the {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} of Joe Kuether.

The flop was {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{4-Spades} which gave Medici extra flush outs. The {10-Diamonds} turn gave him another three outs. But it was not to be. The {5-Diamonds} on the river missed it all and Medici was left with just 2,000 chips. He busted shortly afterwards.
