Nenad Medic Doubles Through Blair Hinkle

Nenad Medic
Nenad Medic
Nenad Medic raised to 2,100 in early position and Blair Hinkle re-raised to 6,500 from the big blind. Medic made the call and we saw a flop of {3-Clubs}{2-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

Hinkle bet 9,000 and Medic took a couple of minutes before raising an additional 19,000. It was then Hinkle's turn to think before he re-raised all in. Medic made the call and the hands were shown:

Hinkle: {A-Spades}{K-Clubs}
Medic: {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

The turn brought the {Q-Clubs} and the river the {6-Diamonds}, giving Medic the 7-high straight.

Medic's stack is now just shy of 100,000 while Hinkle has slipped to 45,000.
