Stein Crippled By Runner-Runner Flush; Eliminated a Few Hands Later

We're not quite sure of the betting action, but we do know that Sam Stein and Artem Kobylynskyi created a monster 150,000 pot by getting all the chips in preflop.

Showdown
Stein: {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}
Kobylynskyi: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

Apparently Stein tanked for a long time and called after Kobylynskyi offered, "I'll show you." Whatever the case, it was a big flip for a lot of chips. It looked like the call would pay off for Stein as the flop fell {6-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs} to give him a set, but the {7-Clubs} turn did give Kobylynskyi a flush draw. Wouldn't you know it, the {4-Clubs} spiked on the river to complete the draw and devastate Stein, who would be eliminated a few hands later.
