Not a bad beat as such, but a defining moment in the event. Just finished 36th in the Sunday Storm (approx 26,000 entrants). I had KK and around 14BB. Guy to my right raises it up and I'm tanking, just about to shove...and, my Surface battery DIES - literally NO warning whatsoever. Checked it 30 minutes prior and there was 5hours battery left.

I ran into the other room to log on to my phone and it had timed out. Two players ended up all in, one had AKs and one had JJ - the KK would have held up and I'd be on course for the final table. Absolutely devastated in all honesty. Went out the next hand feeling a bit tilted...Literally feel so deflated. I had played so solidly throughout, patiently picked my spots, got a little bit of luck when I needed it and was feeling pretty confident of a big score and I am convinced I would've had one here.

I feel ya OP

I don't get chance to play a lot of volume (and never really have) so when I do play, I put my soul into the game. 9 hours is precious time to me, and although I'm thankful for $277 cash I received, this is just a kick in the proverbials that I'm not going to forget.

Ironically, something similar happened to me several years ago, also in the Sunday Storm. Running deep, down to the last 200 and my internet went down - by the time it came back, I was out.

I actually think I'm destined never to win big.

its a 26k entrants mtt, thats a ****ing bingo, no you didnt pick your ****ing spots carefully until then but you were lucky as ****, you just didnt hit that few last lotto numbers.

I will make you pee in sammies mouth if you respond anything but yes fran im sorry.

Haha. That's cheered me up a bit.
