End of a SnG. An early coin flip went the wrong way and I was short stacked 5-10xBB trying to double up and get out of trouble for most of this.

#149 Min-bet said to me he had a mediocre hand and I might be able to push him off it. I was right about the hand, and wrong about pushing him off it. If he called, I most likely had two live cards that can make a lot of straights. The flop rocked, turn was great too... damn that river.

any thoughts?
