Recap of the Last 20 Min of 10K PLH

I will go through the entire tournament later, but I just wanted to write up the last 20 minutes of my most exciting run in the WSOP. I had about 550K (12k/24k blinds) good for a top 5-6 stack with 21 people remaining. I get moved from a cake table to the death table, that included "basebaldy", Daryll Fish, Isacc Haxton, and John Kabbaj. Kabbaj had been playing super nitty and he raised. I called from the BB with AQdd. The flop was J106 all diamonds giving me the nuts. I check and he looks back for a diamond and checks behind. The turn was the 6c. I bet 60K (2/3 pot). He called instantly. The river the the Kc. I bet 125K he raised to 300K. I called knowing he has to have KK. He did have KhKs for top boat. Not only is it sick I get coolered in such a big spot, but there is exactly one card in the deck that causes me to lose 300K, but a ton for me to get paid off (Kd gives me the royal flush and a 6 allows me to check fold). The very next hand I double thru Haxton with QQ vs 33. So Im back to 370K. Two hands later I get AQo and Haxton raises again. This time I put him in and he calls with 1010. The board KJxxx and I lose the 525K pot. I am down to 130K and we redraw. I wait till I have 109K and bet pot on the hijack with 98dd. Kabbaj puts me the rest of the way in with Q9hh. I go from a big stack with the nuts to out. Needless to say I am frustrated. Eric is still in and I will sweat him as he goes for his 2nd bracelet.
