As Scott Baumstein was busting to his opponent, Christian Harder was busy losing a big pot to his opponent.
Harder raised to 1,600 and called when three-bet to 4,800. The flop fell 
and Harder bet 4,000 when the action was checked to him. His opponent check-raised all-in for 9,800 and Harder called even though he didn't like it.
The big blind opened 
for the flopped nut flush.
Harder opened 
for a pair and straight draw.
The board ran out 
and Harder is now very short, and the blinds aren't going down anytime soon.
