Nihad Kovac raises in the cutoff to 18,000 and Garnet Farron (pictured) calls on the button. The blinds fold and we see a flop of K♠K♣Q♥. Kovac wastes no time moving all in for over 100,000. Farron has Kovac covered and snap-calls.
Nihad Kovac - J♥J♣

Kovac exits in 31st place for $1,086.
Garnet Farron - 698,000
