Medic Makes the Call

Under the gun, Antony Lellouche opened with a raise, and he found calls from Hoyt Corkins and Nenad Medic, the latter coming along from the big blind.

The three men checked through the {Q-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {7-Diamonds} flop, and Medic led out with 4,900 on the {5-Diamonds} turn. Lellouche called, Corkins folded, and the river brought the {9-Spades} . Medic bet again -- 11,700 this time -- but his opponent wanted to play for more. The crafty Lellouche raised to 24,500, and Medic spent a long soak in the tank before reluctantly making the call.
