Again playing tight was the right way to go especially early on. Level 2 and I had AK under the gun. I raised but with 2 callers and then a 3k all in, I folded.
Now you don't get quads very often....

Maybe I should have bet on the river to try and milk some more chips but I guess he may have missed his draw and my flat call on the turn may have scared him. But still a decent size pot
Shortly afterwards I picked up QQ in the big blind and raised to 450. I was re-raised to 750 and I flat called. The flop was a very nice looking KQ8 and unless he had KK I was way ahead. I check raised all in for 6k and he called with KQ and is dead to the case K. Turn and river are 4and 3 and I won 6.9k. The cards dried up and I just kept things ticking over raising in position with 33, A6 etc to take the blinds and let others knock themselves out.
We finally got into the money and it was always gonna be a struggle on 8k with the chip leader sitting on a 33k stack! Again the cards deserted me and the chip leader was raising every hand as I expected so I just sat tight and hope to pick up something to go back over the top of him. The other short stack was thinking the same thing and was unlucky as he called the chip leaders all in with AT on a A95 flop only to see the chip leader with T9 hit a 9 on the river for trips to knock him out.
Heads up and and I managed to double up to 15k after I hit my flush draw on the river but I was still a big chip dog. That was about the only hand I got heads up as I just missed flop after flop and even when we checked it down the river would bring my opponent a 2 or a 7 to beat my A high or other crap.
The last hand about summed it up when I hit one of my outs on the turn only for the river to give him his set lol
