Level 11 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

If you're on the wrong side of a cooler you'd prefer it to be in a small re-buy event and not a 25k buy in event. Therefore you have to feel for the short, and cold, day that Zachary Clark had today.

Davidi Kitai raised to 5,000 from under the gun before Jason Wheeler three-bet to 11,000 and Clark four-bet to 22,500. Kitai folded but Wheeler paused and then moved all in for around 110,000. Clark called off his 96,000 stack in an instant.
