Romik Vartzar Eliminated, Frustrated

We heard a bit of commotion coming from Table #361, and headed that way to find Romik Vartzar and John McCaffrey with their hands tabled, and a board of 
lying between them.
McCaffrey had gotten his last 35,000 or so chips in the middle with 
, and his pocket aces had transformed into a backdoor flush.
Romik Vartzar's 
showed that he had made an inferior flush on the river, and while the value of hand was not in dispute, the value of his chip stack was.
"I had 35.5," he said, convinced that his stack had McCaffrey's covered, which would've staved off elimination for at least a few more hands. "I don't think I had 35.5, I know it."
After a brief dispute over the bet sizes and chip counts, the floor determined that no dealer errors had been made, and the pot was finally pushed to McCaffery. Vartzar exited the tournament floor rather quickly, and play resumed as if the whole affair had never happened at all.
