Tournament Report
NENAD MEDIC IS THE 2006
CHAMPION! WINS $1,717,194!
To Read All The Final Days Action Click Here
Nenad Medic, a resident of Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, left the heavy lifting to E G
Harvin and took the Championship Title of the 2006 $10,000 WPT No-Limit Hold’em event of
the Foxwoods World Poker Finals! E G was responsible for knocking out the first four players at
the Final Table but he could not get by Nenad. Nenad was sitting at his third WPT final table and
the third time was a charm as he collected the Championship Trophy, Commemorative leather
jacket and First Place money of $1,717,194!
The players sat down a little after 4 PM and it took one hand to lose the first player.
Mike Perry of Oakland, ME, called E G’s all-in with pocket K’s. E G turned over pocket 2’s and
Mike was ahead especially after a K came on the flop. E G had a flush draw and when he hit it
on the river, Mike was the hard-luck winner of $200,340. Shortly thereafter crowd favorite
Kathy Liebert had a flush on the turn with 4h5h but E G had AhJh. Kathy, who was at her 2nd
final table of the 2006 WPF, will take $257,579 home to Las Vegas, NV for her 5th place finish.
Mike “Chuckles” Omelchuk lifted himself from the short stack to 4th place. He had
earlier doubled up against E G with K’s versus 6’s; but when he went all-in with J9 after a J106
flop his night was over when E G showed JQ. Chuckles, who finished 2nd in this year’s $3000
No-Limit event, took $343,439 home to Bellport, NY. Mimi Tran of Los Angeles, CA, lost a
large pot to E G when his 4h5h again was a winner. Mimi was all-in for her last 700K with QJ
after a 26Q flop; but again E G was the caller and his A9 left Mimi in 3rd place after an A came
on the turn. Mimi collected $472,228 for her efforts.
Entering heads-up play, E G had about a $1,000,000 chip advantage. Nenad had pulled
close to him when his 102 became a full house after a 21010 flop. E G had called with A8; the
pot was worth almost $2.5 million. After Mimi was eliminated, Nenad took sizable pots with
pairs and then gave some back when E G flopped a set of Q’s. The ultimate hand was a game of
cat’n’mouse as Nenad, who flopped a set of 5’s, drew E G into his trap. E G went all-in with AJ;
but with no help from the turn and river, E G ended his remarkable tournament run in 2nd place.
E G, a resident of West Palm Beach, FL, was the winner of $904,389!
Nenad, the seasoned tournament pro, had overcome all challengers to take the WPT
$10,000 Championship of the Foxwoods World Poker Finals!
