Michael Lemkin Eliminated in 13th ($11,731)

Robert Mizrachi and Jeff Campbell tag team on Michael Lemkin. Mizrachi gets the low and Campbell has kings and deuces for the high. Lemkin goes out in sheer class, flopping on the floor and . . . just kidding. He shakes everyone's hand, saying, "Nice game, gentlemen," and goes over to the other table and shakes everyone's hand over there, too.
