Medic misses out on history

Nenad Medic missed out on his chance to become the first player in history to win the same WPT event twice when he finished in third place at the World Poker Tour World Poker Finals at Foxwoods Resort and Casino. The event was won by Mike Vela who walked away with $1,704,986, and a $25,500 seat into the Season VI WPT World Championship to be held in April, 2008.

Despite starting strongly, Medic ended up going out after 71 hands when he threw all of his 2,930,000 chips into the middle with A 7. Vela immediately called with A J and found another two Jacks on the flop to earn a nice pay day.

2005 event winner Nick Schulman faced Vela in the head-to-head but his pocket 5’s failed to hold up against Vela’s A Q when the board rolled out A Q J 7 8. He was eliminated in second place, earning $864,652.
