Very disappointing 6th place in 10 euro knockout tournament.

This story doesn't have "happy end". Maybe the most relevant word that describes the end of this story (tournament) is "tilt".

I was really mad about the end of this tourney.

So here we go. I woke up early yesterday morning. Got some breakfast and started studiyng for the exams in university (oops, just delated my age :D). I decided that one tournament won't ruin the learning process and registered for 10 euro knockout tournament at 12:15pm. It was a bit high entry for my bankroll but we know that this tourney format reduces variation and at a pinch I can deposit more funds. (I don't really like the second scenario :D) 

I had a great start and double up in the first 30 minutes plus 2 bounties in my pocket. Blinds were increasing every 6 minutes so it wasn't a good idea just to wait for some good cards. I picked some good spots where I was about 50/50 versus some shortstacks and won a few - additional 3 bounties for me. The late phase of the tourney was reached. There were about 35 players left. I was on table with chip leader. The exact chip count was something like 120k for him and 50k for me. Luckily I busted him in 2 consecutive hands (I am too lazy to find and share these hands :D). The first one was setup for me and the second was tilt for him. :) I became the chipleader and those fact made me very bad guy. I started stealing and harassing the table. During this period a few shortstacks were busted by me but also 1-2 of them doubled up. It's standart for me. Can't remember something else which is important so let's skip to the final table.

I was still the chipleader. Exact chipcount was something like:

Me:260k                       Player6:80k

Player1:165k                 Player7:70k

Player2:130k                 Player8:55k

Player3:120k          

Player4:105k                 Blinds: 6k/12k with ante

Player5:100k

As you can see it was kind of "turbo final table". For 10-15minutes I busted the two shortstacks and became even bigger chipleader. The everything just went wrong. I lose 5 flips for 10 hands and the tournament was over for me. I was really angry but "that's poker". Later I will try to find some mistakes in my game during the tournament but I think that variance was the key factor. 

So, I finished 6th for 39.65 euro. For the whole tournament I was collected 12 bounties which is equal to 24 euro. Total winning - 63.65 euro.
