and Rainey checks. Kovac fires out 3,000 and Rainey check-jams for 13,700. Kovac calls.
Rainey: 
Kovac: 
Kovac is shocked to see Rainey’s flopped straight and needs the board to pair to send Rainey to the rail. It does not do so on the river 
and Rainey doubles.
Moments later, Rainey is seen raking in another pot with 
after it proves best on a runout of 
to add further to his stack.
