From Medic to Little

Nenad Medic has been playing more than his share of pots on Table 6. He had some early success with that strategy but recently lost two sizable pots to Jonathan Little.

The first was the larger of the two, with well more than 100,000 chips up for grabs on the river of a {5-?} {9-?} {5-?} {5-?} {3-?} board. In that hand, Medic checked behind after Little checked the river, allowing Little to table a full house, {Q-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}, to take the pot. Medic made an inaudible comment to which Little replied, "I'm probably too much of a calling station for that."

The second pot was much smaller, with Little check-calling a bet of 21,700 from Medic on the river of a {6-?} {K-?} {5-?} {Q-?} {Q-?} board. Medic made two pair, kings and sevens, with {k-Spades} {7-Spades}, but Little had the same hand with a better kicker, {A-Clubs} {K-Hearts}.
