Some Tournament Results

I've had some deep runs online lately but haven't been able to close any tournaments out for the big cash. I always seem to lose that coin flip or 60/40 when it really matters. I'm playing well though so I'm sure the results will come.

I've had 2 final tables this month in fields of over 1000+ players so I can't be too upset but it really annoys me to play for hours and then get 3 outted in back to back hands to go from chip leader to busto.

Both these hands took place in the span of 30 seconds at the final table of a $10,000 gauranteed tournament on pokerstars. It started with 1574 people and we were down to the final 6.
