FTOPS X: Event #19

I was looking forward to playing this event. I small buyin and plenty of chips. Unfortunately, it ended not too long after it began. I finished 1382 out of 2526. The top 279 cashed.

Hand #1: This hand still bothers me. I guess I shoulda shoved. His line just completely screwed my brain. Oddly enough, if he shoves, I insta call. He put me in a shove, fold spot. A call was very bad. Not sure what he has that I'm beating which he wouldn't want to shove over my re-raise. Maybe I just over analyzed the situation.
