Then, my internet cut out twice in an hour, and I missed about half hours play when the blinds started to get a little deep. I couldn't reconnect, I restarted my PC twice and still feck all, and when I came back, I was down to 5k in chips while the average was about 16k. I managed to work my way up to 21k before the next break just taking down some smallish pots, but never really got going from there. I managed to get in the money by just being relentless at the blinds and antes. When the bubble burst, everyone started dropping like flies, everyone stopped being nits and without many hands coming my way, there wasn't much I could do and I ended up going out in 813th for a $45 'score', doubling my BI.
It got to about 10pm, considering I had work in 16 hours, the last thing I should have done was browsed for more tournaments, but I wanted to gambool. I sat down at a $5/$10 table, a couple of $2/$4 tables and some 100NL tables, but the good thing was I couldn't be arsed to mess around, so I quit 'em and decided to go for it again, so I entered the $28k GTD anyway, $24+2, 1238 runners with 135 getting paid. The payouts were measly until you got to the final table, but I kinda knew I was gonna go sick deep in it, I just had that feeling. I think 25th or something was like $70, 10th was $252 and 1st was $6.5k, and I fancied it.
I started well, but lost half my stack when a fish raised the turn on 4K7Qtt turn multi-way, I was holding AK. I could have shoved but I really didn't see what I beat, the Q was a horrible turn card for me and I decided it wasn't worth risking my tournament life this early when I'm rarely ahead, so I laid it down and decided to wait for a better spot. I kept picking up some pots and found myself doing pretty well come 12am.
I don't really remember much about the middle, I was above average for the majority of the tournament because of a decent pot where I called a bet OOP and donked the flush river w/nut straight, and managed to get called by AJ (one pair) on a super wet board, this gave me some life. When we were 100 left, I started to built the chips, I was relentless and was running about 28/26 while everyone else were really nitty, it was super profitable.
Cutting a long story short, I got to the final tables and was 7th, the villain in CO has been shoving tons and I called w/A9o against his 76o, which would have propelled me to 2nd (double 3rd's stack), and in a good position to bully the table some more. He turn and rivered two pair to leave me on the shortstack and about 111k left. I shoved next hand w/97o, got called by AQo and flopped a 9, he turned a Q and I rivered a 6 to double up. I repopped some hands, shoved a couple of times before this hand happened;

2 outer on the turn, FML. 6th place for $1.3k, doubles my roll to nearly $2.7k which obviously is nice, but I really felt I could have shipped this. Props to DHM0219 though, he was relentless in his aggression and was unlucky not win it when he ran QQ into A9 and the flop was AAx for 4th place (I think), he was probably the best player at the table tbf and obviously knew what he was doing, he was so difficult to play against because he was 4bet shoving a ton, 3betting and opening nearly every hand, gg sir if you somehow read this.
So donkament finished at like 9:15am, I got something to eat and got my clothes ready to work, got about an hour of sleep in and away I went to work, stocked up on red bull ldo. I didn't feel that bad in work either tbh, was only a 14.00-18.00 shift which was fortunate, I would have called in sick if it was 10.00-18.00, no way would I have made that work out..
I'm going to leave myself with $2k in the roll, and withdraw about $685 for a new laptop, I'm not gonna take shots at 100NL just because I'm rolled for it because I don't beleive I have any significant edge up there, so I'm happy to have 40BI for 50NL while playing on a machine which is actually half decent instead of his heap of junk, gg I guess, your time is up!
I didn't proof read this and I'm tired as fuck so I apologize for any mistakes.
