1K at Venetian

My starting table was pretty tough, as it consisted of Eric Baldwin, Ben Fineman, and one other guy I can not remember. I splashed around alot as usual with mixed results. I was up as much as 21k (15K starting stack), but left the table at 12K. As soon as I got to my new table I doubled up with 62ss vs KK on a Jh6h2c board. Shortly after that I held with KK vs Kh10h on a 9h8s7h board. The pot pushed me to over 40K and I thought I would try some light 3 bets against a couple of the younger players at the table. I 3 bet with Q9o from the SB and got flatted by the original raiser. The board came 10h8c2s and I checked with intentions of folding, but he led so small that I changed my mind and ripped leaving 1.5x pot to call. He found a call with AA, but a Jack on the river put me up to 55K. I got as high up as 70K, but found myself with 35K at 500/1000 blinds. I was the 2nd limper in with AK with the hopes that one of the 2 aggressive short stacks would push. One did from the button, but a larger stack pushed over the top. I coulda let it go, but felt the short stack could have anything and that the big stack to push with AQ and certainly 1010. So I called off with my AsKh and was against the short stacks AdKc and the big stacks QsQc. The flop was good with the 1084 all spades, but bricks hit to send me out the door around 30th.
