Not the most unlikely beast of my life... just the most painful as of yet. I was 5th out of 22 people left with 13000 chips. Payouts started at 18 and I was playing extra-tight so I could definitely make it for once.

The absolute horror. Had I doubled up I would've been the chip leader and well on my way to winning the $1000 first prize. Why do I always get rivered on stars? WHYYYYYYYY?
