Vegas - Planet Hollywood win

I won the 2pm at Planet Hollywood in bizarre circumstances today.

You get 6k stack but it's a turbo with blinds starting at 100-200 and then doubling every 20 mins.

I blew over half my stack in the very first hand after 4 betting the button to 1.5k with 88 and then continuation betting a JQx flop for 2k against one player who then shoved on me.

I got most of it back getting it all in with 55 against 22, and then eliminated the player from the first hand all in on the flop with JT on a Txx board and holding against T7.

On the final table I went on an absolute tear, eliminating most of the players by either chiseling them down by 3 betting pre-flop and getting folds when the blinds were astronomical or cold decking them.

Cold deck 1 was a big stack getting QQ on the button and me having KK in the BB.

Cold deck 2 was flopping a set against a pair and a flush draw and he missed.

After all that there were 3 players left with stacks as follows:

Me: 70k
Player1: 10k
Player2: 10k

With blinds at 1k/2k they still were in with a shout if they got a quick double up, but at that stage the dealer suggested that they split 2nd and 3rd prize and award me first place. I said that perhaps this wasn't equitable but to my astonishment the other players agreed and said they had to be somewhere anyway.

So I secured 1st prize by doing a deal 3 handed. Can't imagine that will happen in tomorrow's tournament(!)

One bizarre incident whilst I was walking to PH - a homeless guy with a beard came up to me and shouted pretty much in my face:

"It's not what you know, it's who you know. AND YOU KNOW ME!"

WTF?
