Fair and Balanced???

I figured that since I bitched when I lost I should put up a winning story to balance out my chi. We are on the bubble of a double or nothing. There is a short stack and people are limping in case he gets it all in.

So UTG goes from 3000 to out in two hands when there was a super short stack. I just don't understand his play in the first hand. Why are you in after the flop with a weak flush draw on a paired board. I'm not going to be betting there even if I only had trips. It has to be a boat or better. The second hand I can understand.
