Finstein Loses Flip, Eliminated Shortly After
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Craig Bateman raised to 5,000 in middle position, picking up a call from the player directly to his left. Action was then on Michael Finstein, who moved all in for 79,500. Finstein then called off for his remaining 66,500, and the remaining player folded.
Craig Bateman: A♠K♦ 
Michael Finstein: 8♣8♦
The flop 3♥A♦Q♣ moved Bateman into the lead, and when the turn 7♣ hit, Finstein stood up.
The river 7♠ secured the pot for Bateman, and Finstein started to walk away from the table. He was called back, though, as he had a slightly larger stack than his opponent and wasn't out.
Unfortunately for Finstein, though, he wasn't able to spin his 13,000 back up, as he was eliminated a few hands later.
