Paul Sincere Eliminated in 2nd Place ($198,134)
Once again, Paul Sincere entered a raising war on the Q♦7♠4♥ flop that put Igor Zektser at risk.
Igor Zektser: A♦A♠9♣6♥5♥ 
Paul Sincere: A♣K♠K♦4♣2♦
A bit of a cold deck, both players had monsters but Zektser's aces had Sincere's kings pipped and when the board completed the 9♠ and J♦ they were good for a full scoop and to put Zektser.
A Few Hands Later:
A short-stacked Sincere got his chips in and at risk on a flop of 6♣10♥4♠ Zektser made the call.
Paul Sincere: Q♦9♣9♥4♥4♣
Igor Zektser: K♣8♣7♥5♦4♦
Sincere needed high cards but it was Zektser's day when the 3♦ fell , giving Zektser the straight, and the board didn't pair with the 5♣ bringing the tournament to a close.
Both players developed a comradery over the four days of play and shoot hands, congratulating each other on the deep runs.
