Chad Batista defended his big blind following a 2,400-chip preflop raise to see a 
flop fall.
Batista check-called 2,500 on the flop before checking the 
on the turn as his opponent fired out 4,500. Batista took the more aggressive line of check-raising to 14,200 only to have his opponent move all in for a few thousand more.
Making the call, Batista was drawing live with his 
for a flush draw against his opponent's 
, but when the 
fell on the river Batista was left crippled with just 6,500 in chips.
