Former Champ Hanging in There
We still have one former $10K PLH Champion in the field today, that being Nenad Medic. Back at the 2008 WSOP, Medic defeated a field of 352 players to claim the $794,112 after defeating Andy Bloch in heads-up play. That final table was quite stacked to say the least as it also included Kathy Liebert, Mike Sexton, Phil Laak, Patrik Antonius, Mike Sowers, Chris Bell, and Amit Makhija.
In a recent hand, Medic raised to 9,500 from middle position and received a call from Yosuke Sekiya in the cutoff. Medic then check-called a bet of 15,000 on 
flop, leading to the 
on the turn. After both players checked, the 
was put out on the river and Medic led out for 28,000, which caused Sekiya to insta-muck.
