Final on the poker news

So, last night at 19h00 I sat down for the continuation of the ZAR2 million game I was playing the night before.
I wasn't in too bad a position, but could have been better. I was very low stacked though, and was seated at a table with some of the top stacks in tournament. In fact on either side of me the guys had 50k and more chips.
I lasted 48 minutes, which is a lot longer than some of the guys who had more chips than I did, but eventually the blinds eroded my stack to 20k, and I picked a hand for all in, K hearts Q hearts, and shipped. The big blind next to me called with A J, and hit an Ace, and that was the end of my game.
To that point I hadn't got one descent hand with which to play, and in fact had folded every single Big and Small blind due to crap cards and raises on my blinds.
However, I did manage to finish 128th, beating at least 75% of the players who started this tournament, no mean feat by any means!!
Would have been nice to have stayed in longer, and nicer to have finished in the money, but that's poker.
My position - 128. Tsvina - highlighted in the R/H screen was the player who folded his big blind to me so that I could stay in the satellite game, and win this seat.

Salagatle!
