Medic Nearly Flatlines, but Survives

Shamus

Nenad Medic

A short-stacked Nenad Medic just pushed his small stack of 3,150 in before the flop with {Q-Clubs}

{Q-Clubs}

{Q-Spades}

and found himself up against a player holding {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

.

Medic's heart sunk as the {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

appeared as the first card on the flop. But the dealer slid his hand to reveal the {Q-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

and

{9-Hearts}

, and Medic felt better. The turn was the {9-Clubs}

{9-Clubs}

and the river the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

, and Medic is now back to 8,500.
