Defending champion of this event, Nenad Medic, has remained relatively quiet so far this tournament. Grinding away for most of the day we have not seen him involved in many large confrontations. At his high water mark earlier in the day he was up to 100,000, however, currently he sits on half of that with 50,000.
Although 35,000 below the chip average, Nenad is not even close to being out of contention. He has already cashed twice at this year's WSOP including an 18th place finish at the $10,000 PLO championship event.
