Lots of nice stacks built up early but just couldn't win a key hand to close...
Here was a hand deep in 30 reb for an average stack with 13 left
Weird spot because villain is down over 40k in tourneys just on this site and my notes say that he doesn't have a fold button but min opens wide ever from early pos (68x), limps QQ-AA and AK. Would much rather be in this spot against a good player....but I thought I was a decent amount ahead of his range and that it was best to take this spot to put us in position to win.
