Still in this one over six and a hours of play sitting in 17th place with 37 players left got 45 profit locked up and out decided to shove AJ with 20 BB left was up against AK
damn you were so close to make it to the final table and it would have been some serious cash, too bad just too bad but I'm sure one day you'll make it just keep the belief

Sorry Vic I know your agony very well. Sucks to get so deep and have the Rug pulled out from under you either by hook or by crook.
I've had so many late collapses or cards not holding up that it's super annoying and easy to drive yourself nuts over these outcomes.
you'll be back my friend and taking down a large tourney soon.

Many congratulations to you on going so deep in this tournament and collecting a nice prize. It is always very frustrating, when you play for so long and do not win the whole tournament, but you should be very proud of how far you did go

Maybe you too tired and start boring after long play and lost your patient. Next time I hope you remember this experience and make better decision Good luck and I am waiting another good news from you.
not always in poker turns to do what you think ... all the players want to win, and in addition there is the ability and luck is not always on your side ... my congratulations on the win and wish to reach a higher place ... good luck in the game
Yeah was a good result could have been better got lucky a couple times just to make it that deep but got a little to aggressive with AJ all in pre flop as I was going after a 15 bounty on a sit out no BB left player.

Congratulations on your deep run in the $20,000 KO guarantee event on PokerStars. You made a nice profit. It was unlucky that you ran into Ace King when you shoved your Ace Jack. Better luck next time.
I know from experience these very large field MTTs can be quite annoying. Play for 7-8 hours and end up 20th for a couple of bucks instead of winning 50,000$ for first place... In the end tournament poker is a crazy combination of luck, skills and timing which is why some people win more than others. If you only have skills and timing but you don't have luck when you need it, you will not finish 1st. Nothing you can do about that though!

You had a nice run there with a good profit. Playing that many hours, keeping your head straight is an accomplishment for me After a couple of hours in the same tournament, i start losing it, to the point i play whatever, getting kicked out and excuse myself
