Deep run... bad beat

Just made a deep run in the 32k 26$buyin on fulltilt. 1600 entrants and over 8k for first. I was down to 1200 early on. But got back to 1700, then quadrupled up when I shoved on a big squeeze play with AJh from the BB. The original raiser folded, but the 3 other players all ended up allin. Their hands were KQo, JJ, 98o. Flop was Qhigh but I went running hearts for the big pot. Cruised from there to a pretty decent stack. Once we got deeper I was able to go into Gus mode and keep my stack up despite subpar hands. I pretty much stayed close to or a little above avg stack the rest of the tourny. I was raising on average about 20% of my hands once the big antes were implemented. And after a abotu 2.5 hours of that, I only faced a reraise twice. I got on a little roll with the blinds at 2k/4k 500ante, up to about 133k. Then this hand happened with about 50 people left... the guy on the button pretty much had one move when stealing blinds, and that was allin.

Great flop, BS turn, this hand hurt me greatly, taking over half my stack. I was able to steal some blinds a few hands later. But then I was dealt A7o in the BB, the cutoff raised about 2.5x the BB, and I shoved to try and take it down but ran into QQ and it held up. Took 43rd for $97.06. Disapointing finish, but definitely was good affirmation that I can continue to make deep runs in these tournaments. Alot of things have to go right to make the final table in a tourny that big, just wasn't happening tonight.

On a side note, I was freerolling in the tournament. Earlier today I used 5400pts, to play in 3 single table sngs where the top 3 get a 26$ tournament token. I cashed in all of them picking up 3 tokens which is always nice.

Until next time, I'm calling it a night.
