PStars was looking poorly too. I invested an unheard of $300 in the 20 rebuy, and came to the break with 5k in chips (for those of you scoring at home,that means a double rebuy and addon only). Bluechip was making a run in the $55k, so I was railing him and treating the 20r as an afterthought. 20 off the bubble, my KK ran into QQ aipf, and the turn and river were both Qs, moving my stack down below 5k. Somehow I short stack ninja'd back into the game, and was sitting on 30k on bubble. I 4x 55 in cutoff and bb shoves all in- i look him up and he has AQ, I hold to 60k. Now its time for me to abuse bubble. I raise a shitload and finally play a pot where i get it aipf with A5 to 1010. I turn the wheel though and am up to 100k. I hang around till we're down to ~ 30 ppl left when I get moved to a table with GBoro and some fish. Following hand comes up that set me up for an FT run:

When a donk cant muck AQ there, I win. weeeeee.
So at this point I abused the bubble all the way to FT bubble, where I got ahead of myself and doubled up a guy. So final table I'm 2nd in chips. After putting a nasty beat on GBoro A9 v 1010 on a 92543 board, I had a massive chip lead 3 way.
We got to heads up and i was 3 to 1 chip leader. I got it all in with the guy on a 6c7cks flop, me holding Q7, him 9c10c. River 8 gets us back to even. Then I lose 1 million chips with JJ on a KQ board, and I am short stacked. I run a bluff into 2 pair and take 2nd. Sucks because I should have won, but I had such a donk image that I couldn't take down any pots pre or post flop vs the guy, he was looking me up everytime. Oh well, ~6k win is still cool. BTW the deal I have with Bluechip is that we take 10% of each others 4 figure + wins when we both play in the tourney, as a way to reduce variance. We're looking forward to a big Sunday, so hopefully I'll be shipping him some loots.
Here is last night's Excel:
