Paul Clotar Eliminated in 12th Place ($15,172)
Level 28
: Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante
Paul Clotar opened to 350,000 from the hijack and Kevin Ho clicked it to 600,000 from the button. Igor Zektser four-bet shoved for 2,265,000 from the small blind and Clotar, who had 455,000 behind, called, putting himself at risk. Ho then called covering both players.
Paul Clotar: A♦10♥6♥6♦5♦ 
Igor Zektser: A♠A♥9♦6♠3♥
Kevin Ho: A♣Q♣Q♠7♣2♥
The board ran out 4♥K♠5♥K♥2♦. Zektser had turned the nut-flush and then rivered the nut-low to scoop a colossal pot, sending Clotar to the rail and nearly tripling his stack in the process.
