Medici Has Returned

If you followed the coverage yesterday, you surely remember Giorgio Medici. In case you missed it, here is the story of his roller coaster day. Medici was one of many who entered the dinner break short stacked, sitting on just 16,000. In the two hours after the break, Medici went on a meteoric rise, climbing all the way to 400,000, which at the time was double what anyone else had in the tournament. However, it would come crashing down in the last level of the night, when he got in a ginormous pot with Joe Kuether, yesterday's end of day chip leader. Medici got it all in preflop with {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs} against Kuether's {9-Spades}{9-Hearts} for a 380,000 chip pot, and Kuether held. Medici was eliminated shortly after. We certainly expect to see some more fireworks from Medici today.
