Another Ontario Player About to Cash BIG !!!

Some of you may remember Nenad Medic from his final table appearance in the Bahamas last year. Mike Sexton was referring to him as 'the gentle giant', and he was massively shortstacked going into the telecast, finishing 6th. He's from the St. Catharines/Niagara area, but live in Waterloo when he went to UW, and played on the UW varsity basketball team.

Anyways, Nenad is in Melbourne right now playing in the Aussie Millions tournament, and they just ended about an hour ago with the final table of 7 being set for tomorrow.

The final 7 and their chip stacks:
Seat 2: Nenad Medic (Canada) - 1,841,000
Seat 4: Russell Davies (AUS) - 777,000
Seat 7: Lee Nelson (NZ) - 1,024,000
Seat 6: Robert Neary (USA) - 617,000
Seat 1: Jeff Sealey (USA) - 1,982,000
Seat 5: Wes Bugiera (AUS) - 594,000
Seat 3: Shannon Shorr (USA) - 1,532,000

That's right, he's just being the chip leader. He just took out Kenna James this morning (tomorrow afternoon there) on a massive hand of QQ vs AK (clubs) when Nenad flopped quads! But James flopped a gutshot royal flush draw. He didn't get the jack, and Nenad took him out.

Guaranteed at least 125K now, and 1st pays almost 1.3 million!

There's a great live update page to keep track of the action.

  • I hope to have a thread like this started about me someday. (soon)
  • Nenad's been on quite a roll of late ...

    He finished 2nd in the PokerStars $500 Sunday tournament on Christmas night.

    After the 3-way chip chop, I believe he won in the neighbourhood of $125,000 US.

    I watched part of the tourney, and most of the final table. He was awesome.

    His brother, who is involved with the McMaster basketball team (did you know that furfy?), told me on the weekend he was down in Australia. GG Nenad, bring it home!!

  • Macbb,
    I saw the name in the program and assumed it was a relation, but thanks for the confirmation.
    (PS-we need to talk about Halifax sometime.)
  • They're down to four left ... as of the last break, Nenad was second in chips.

    macbb
  • Still 4 left ... no chip count of late, but from the p.b.p., I'd bet Nenad is the chip leader.

    I'll check in again in the morning.
