Thanks everybody for the support. I'm posting this from the internet/TV hookup in the room. They don't give chipcounts for the hand that I busted on, but I had about 15,500 and the level was 800/1600/a100, levels going up in about 4 minutes except that after I busted, they broke to set up the final table (we were at 2 tables, 5-handed each). The guy who busted me was from Newfoundland, but a Pats fan, so that was OK. When we stood and shook hands before they dealt the board, I said "at least a Pats fan will win this pot."
This hand was straightforward, so no need to post it, but I have 2 or three others I'll post in the strategy forum.
Guy who busted me was short-stacked last hand of the prior level (about 9K), in a 4-way unraised pot with the table chip leader and the ultimate winner. The chip leader made pot-size bet on the flop, Quillan (now to be known as Moneymaker Jr) called and Bobby pushed. Chip leader goes all-in for 16K instantly. Quillan goes into the tank for 2 minutes and finally folds. Chip leader had 33 for a flopped set and Bobby shows a OESD, and hits on the turn to take half the chip leader's stack. At the break between levels, guy looks like he wants to break something. Quillan later says he folded an overpair.
