Heads up after a 10man SnG. I was definitely the big stack but this guy just kept hitting cards when it got to pushing him all in.

1st chance, not so much a suckout, but i was calling any two cards with his stack so small.

In the end he managed to claw his way back and take the win. Very dissapointing.

I know how you feel. I lost an SnG not too long ago when I was about a 4:1 chip lead going HU, and four times had him all in with me having the best hand, and each time I lost. Once he even hit a runner-runner flush on me. The pain..
The only consolation is at least getting paid a little for 2nd place.

Last time I was playing S&G with my friend and we made it to top 2. So we had this agreement that we will just go all-in every hand.
At the start I had only ~1/8 of his. I won 3 in a row (1 was a bad beat, 3 outer) to squeeze his stack to 1/20 of mine.
And then he won 5 in a row to eliminate me (2 were bad beats. 2 outer and runner runner straight).
Poker has a huge variance and sh*t happens.
