Hey guys - First of all, I'm a big TPE fan.  I'm glad to be a member.  

Earlier today I got knocked out of the Chicago Poker Classic Main event, 2k buy-in (I won a seat through a satellite).  

Here is the hand:

200/400/25 and I have 30k chips (75 BB) Late position with KK.  UTG +1 makes it $1,025, Chip leader at table calls

 next to act (he has raised or called the last ~8-10 hands).  I make it $3900 since chip leader is a calling station.  

They both call.  983 rainbow flop, action checked to me.  I bet 11,000 (~13k in the pot).  UTG+1 folds.  Chip leader 

thinks a bit and then calls.  6 on the turn.  No flush draw.  He checks after tanking a bit.  I shove the rest of my 

15k stack and he calls with 10 9 os.  He hits a 10 on the river.  Background here is I hadnt played a hand in 

about 15+ hands getting absolute garbage/carddead.  With ~35k in the pot, and my shove for 15k, i suppose he was

pretty pot committed. 

Could I have this better or did i just get unlucky?  

This was pretty early in the tournament....but seems pretty unlucky here.   I suppose i could have played some pot control

but he would have rivered me anyway, but I could have saved my tournament life.  Let me know what you all think.
