Shipping, 3rd in $109 MTT for $8200

Came in 3rd in the $109 Freezeout on Wednesday for $8200 :). Felt really good about the way I played. Came into the final table as the shortstacked with 20+ BBs if I remember correctly, but I stayed patient, and it certainly paid off. I hit a major heater, and in 10 hands I went from shortstack at 110k, to chip leader at 900k. When we got to 3 handed, we were decently deepstacked at 6/12k, as we all had over 650k. It was very tough 3 handed, as one of the other players was agriffrod, and the other I didn't know who he was, but he knew what he was doing. There was a ton of 3 betting and some 4 betting too, and I was holding my ground as well. The hand that basically cost me is as follows: button opened to about 48k at 10/20k, from the small blind I 3 bet with AK to roughly 115k, and agriffrod shoved for 480k total, back to me and I snap called, he had Q10 of clubs. Flop came A 10 9, with 2 clubs, and after the turn I was drawing dead as he hit his flush. If I had won this hand I would have been guaranteed 11.5k I think, and had a 1.5-1 chip lead. After being shortstacked for a little got it all in blind vs blind with AK vs KK and couldn't hit, but 8200 does ship my way :).

Other than that I really haven't played much. I actually just checked my latest mtt stats, and I've only played 17 mtts in the last 8 days, which kind of sucks, but theres nothing I can really do about it. I am on spring break from school until the 22nd so I'll probably be able to get some more volume in.
good luck
