Nenad Cvetkovic, Winner of Event #6
Nenad Cvetkovic just claimed his first Circuit ring after taking down Event #6, $400 No-Limit Hold’em 6 Max. He battled through a field of 137 runners to reach the first-place prize of $12,884.
Prior to his win, Cvetkovic had two WSOP cashes on his resume, and both were deep runs in the Main Event of previous Circuit stops at Harrah’s Atlantic City. He got 2nd in the Main Event in 2016, and 5th in 2017. Today, he finally closed out a tournament at this casino.
"I’m excited. I didn’t know what to expect at this final table. This is not my first final table. I final tabled the Main Event twice here. And today, I finally won a tournament here. This is my lucky casino. I always run good when I play here."
Cvetkovic was one of the largest stacks coming into the final day and he continued to ride that wave out to a victory.
"I didn’t take too many risks today. I think I had a small edge over other players, and I wasn’t at risk at all during the entire final table. I was very calm and relaxed, and just played my game. I was running so good too, which is a crucial part of my win today."
The Serbian poker professional is mostly a cash game player but has been trying to play more tournaments.
"I play mostly cash games usually. I’ve been wanting to play more tournaments, but I never do. Hopefully this will be my motivation. I’m used to playing cash games and it’s hard to break a habit, but I want to."
Indeed, Cvetkovic will return to the tournament area tomorrow.
"I will be here tomorrow for the first flight of the Main."
