Bubble in Borgata Presidents Day 1k

So had off today and decided to hit up the Borgata for the 1k + 100 at 11 a.m. Get down there just in time for the first hand. The start is not kind to me as I don't get a playable hand until the last hand before the end of level 2 (40 minute levels). About midway through level 3 I win a few nice pots with my only showdown being Jacks vs. tens and I am up to about 26k. Then there are about 5 minutes left before the first break when I get TT in MP. Blinds 100/200 and I raise a limper to 800. Limper calls and we get a flop of JQ4 with 2 clubs. I c-bet 1300 and he calls. The turn brings a red ten to give me the set. I bet 2600 and he calls. River is a sick K and he open shoves for about 9k. I have about 10k behind and tank pretty badly. I have him on a busted club draw but did it include an A. I really dont think so but dont think I can call more then pot and lay down. He shows 9T of hearts so good laydown dwal. Should have been easy fold but i just didnt think he had the A.

So I still am in good shape and we start losing people. (120 started, 18 pay, 1st 37k)

I start getting a lot more active and work up my stack to about 50k which is probably about average with 21 left with 3 tables of 7 (1k/2k blinds, 300 ante). I get 88 in MP and pop to 5k. CO calls, Button calls, BB calls. WTF. I mean the play was bad but this is ridiculous. flop comes Q94 rainbow. I am a puss and dont c-bet into 3 callers and it gets checked around. 8 peel on the turn to give me the set. BB bets 5k, I raise to 14k CO shoves (and has me covered) 2 folds, I instacall and he tables KTd which is a gutshot and a flush draw he picked up on the turn. The guttie hits and I am gone in 20th for a bubble that is hard to swallow. I probably should have cbet the flop there but didnt want to do it into 3 players. Cant believe this fucker flat calls a raise with KTs on the bubble.

Oh well so goes it. I win that pot I have over 100k and can bully the shit out of the table.
