Zektser Scoops Ho
Level 27
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Paul Clotar opened to 175,000 from early position and received calls from Joshua Biedak in middle position, Kevin Ho on the button and Igor Zektser in the small blind.
The flop came 8♦7♦6♠ and Zektser led with a pot-sized 860,000 bet, leaving around 40,000 behind. Only Ho called.
Zektser got the last of his chips in on the 7♣ turn and Ho called to put him at risk.
Igor Zektser: A♠10♣9♣5♣2♣
Kevin Ho: A♥8♠5♥4♦3♣
Zektser was a massive favorite with the nut-low and nut-straight and he remained ahead on the 7♣K♥ runout to double up.
