Brutal beats

I played in another $1 90-man SnG and got one of the worst runs of bad beats I've ever gotten in one sitting.

I had four horrendous hits in the span of just a couple orbits. Before this run, I was a massive chip leader, with double any other stack, and 21 remaining (18 pay). 47K in chips out of 270K total chips, so I am dominating until this run.

Hand #1: Run pocket 10's into pocket Aces. OK, this is normal. Drop to 44K.
Hand #2, Run pocket 10's into pocket Aces of a very short stack. Drop to 38K.
Hand #3, Pocket 9's, try to push people out and get called AGAIN by rockets on a short stack. Drop to 31K.
Hand #4, 2 orbits later, now 12 left: Pocket Q's, and re-raise player from hand #3 all in again. He calls and flips....pocket kings. No help.

I've dropped down to 9th by the end of this run (amazingly, i didn't bust out, thanks to the formerly massive chip lead, but somehow managed to recover with a lot of steals and pushing to get to this:

Dear APOSEC72, You finished the tournament in 2nd place. There has been $13.95 added to your account.

So at least there was a happy ending to this bad beat story.
