Since I had lost a small pot at the start of the game, and Claire had won enough chips to barely overtake the chip lead, I lost all my chips just like that. Two of the best players gone in a flash. What a crock...
Well, on the bright side, Season 5's on its way! It starts tomorrow! I'll post a bit more about Season 5 later today.

Two seasons in a row...and a suck-out free win. I called it like the babe, I knew who I was taking out, and in what order...
Well, I've been Player of the Season for Season's 1 and 4. :) So I've won half of all the Season long stats wars. Consistency. ;)
I'm also far and away the unluckiest guy in the league. Hence my awesome exit out of this past CIT. In fact, I think I've had the misfortune of busting out first in all four CITs. Consistency! (Well, this last time I busted at the same time as Dean, but still.) There's not a person in the league that wouldn't have busted out sitting in my seat holding that flopped full house.
Some offense to the rest of the players, but Dean and I were probably the best two players on the table. :( I'm sure everyone breathed a sigh of relief once we were busted.
Great players don't slow play aces then go all-in after the board pairs and two players raise and re-raise. There is NO way that you could have gotten away from the flopped full-house, however.

Well, you have part of sequence wrong. Claire never re-raised. It's an important detail. Here's why.
I think if Claire had gone all-in, Dean *might* have been able to get out of the hand holding AA with a paired board and someone raising him and then someone (Claire) re-raising all-in. He'd have to think about it, and, yes, he might have still called, but still, he would at least have *thought* about letting AA go.
Since I raised and Claire merely called, it's a lot harder to let go of AA. Not impossible, but damn hard. Me raising could have meant I had KK, QQ or another over pair. Or I could just be betting aggressively with AK or AQ (something I'm known to do).
With Claire merely calling behind me, he can easily put her also on an overpair she's not completely comfortable with (TT, QQ) but more likely a flush draw with some high cards or even suited connectors like 5d 6d.
In any case, Dean's all-in move wasn't too bad. Claire played it smart to just smooth call my raise. I'm not so sure most people wouldn't have gone all-in when Dean did.
I stand corrected. Still...slow playing aces....
Dean you rock my poker world! Not as much as Rob, but you are the closest to the best as there is! I enjoy playing with peeps that make me better. I learn alot from your sweet skills.
