As has been reported, busted 139th for 8.8k payout. Sick run, just couldn't get anything going today, never had more than 400k and mostly hovered between 200 and 300k. I had basically the same stack for like 10-12 straight levels which is absurd that that's even possible but this tournament was so deep.
Missed one pretty obvious shove spot late and certainly didn't play perfect but I have no regrets and am extremely happy with how I played. I really thought I'd be more pissed when I busted but I'm happy with my performance so I wasn't too disappointed.
I loved the structure of this particular tournament, but tbh its the only one I'd be even remotely interested in playing in the future (along with ME obv). The edge it gives cash players is crazy. Once things get short though its pretty tedious and if you take away all the levels that I got to play deep against fish and tourney regs who don't know how to play deep I'd be much less interested and it wouldn't be worth my time.
Anyways I'm exhausted from 3 days of this tournament stuff so I'm gonna go to bed. Taking the day off tomorrow and back to cash after. I may post more thoughts regarding my tournament and stuff I noticed in general but for now just wanted to let everyone know my result.
Probably won't be doing too much in the way of hh's since I don't remember much from previous days and today was mostly standard. Since everyone always wants to hear the bustout hand, Ill share that:
In the 5th hand after moving to a new table its folded to me in the CO with K
8
and I shove my 10bb stack. The bb calls with A9o. Flop K65, Turn A, River 5.
