18 SNG Step 2 Ticket End 7th Won Step 1 ticket 112 Hands

Payout:  1-5  Step 3 Ticket, 6 - Step 2 Ticket, 7-8 Step 1 Ticket

Generally OK play but a bit weak at the end. I thought I had a good chance for a Step 2 ticket but going from 2nd to 5th or 6th was easy even when you weren't in the pot. My big downfall was trying to steal the blinds w/ A4s and getting called by the BB. Flop was 6 6 8. BB checked and I checked. Turn 2c. BB bet 1000 into the 3250 pot and I felt I had to fold. That left me w/1665 chips w/blinds of 250/500. A few hands later I went out w/K8o vs KJ9. I hit the 8 bit they hit the J on the flop. No help on the Turn or River.
