Kovaci Straight to the RailPoker is a cruel game and Mirsad Kovaci (Brooklyn, NY) knows that his bad beat in the $1k tournament wasn't his first and it won't be the last.
Holding pocket 4s, Kovaci leads out with a set on a board of 3 4 5. His opponent reraises, Kovaci shoves, and both players are all-in with Kovaci at risk for his last 22k.
The turn is a harmless Q, but the river brings the last card Kovaci wants to see. A deuce ball completes his opponent's straight and Kovaci is left shaking his head.
"What are you going to do," he says, "I can only get it in with the best and hope I don't get unlucky."
Kovaci is a Borgata regular who's already looking at the Borgata Winter Poker Open schedule to see if he'll have better luck in this cruel, cruel game.
