I'm playing this tournament last night and am at the final table. We're down to 6 and I'm sitting in 3rd chip position with 46,000, blinds are 4,000 and 8,000. I have K10 suited in first position. People have been playing extremely tight since reaching the final table, I raise to 20,000, everybody folds to the BB who has 8,000 in and 8,000 left. He puts all of his 16,000 in. We flip the cards and he has 8 5. Flop comes 4 6 7, and he doubles up with a straight.
Next hand I am in the BB, and the guy in 3rd position goes all in with 31,000. Everybody folds to me and I have 30,000 left. I call with QQ, he turns over A  3 , flop comes 3 's and I'm out 46,000 in two hands.

The second one's a real kick in the teeth, the same thing happen to me when I picked up KK after a bad beat. You think YES this is my chance to come back  then BOOM!
