Medic Spins Up His Four Big Blinds
Nenad Medic was on a very short stack of four big blinds and was sitting in the big blind when Jessica Teusl raised from the small blind and they got it all in.
Nenad Medic: A♦J♦9♦8♦
Jessica Teusl: 9♠7♣5♠5♣
The board came A♣J♣Q♠4♥7♥ and Medic made a pair of aces, enough for the double-up.
A much bigger pot went his way a few hands later when he raised to 56,000 from the hijack, which was three-bet to 150,000 by Dylan Lambe in the small blind. Jannick Schöb called, and Medic called all in for 138,000 total.
The flop was Q♣6♠3♦ and Lambe moved all in. Schöb folded and the other two turned over their cards.
Nenad Medic: K♠K♣9♥3♣
Dylan Lambe: A♥Q♦J♥2♦
Medic was ahead on the flop, but Lambe made two pair on the J♣ turn.
The river, however, was the 6♥, pairing the board to give Medic better two pair and the triple-up.
