5 spots short...

it was a lil while ago.. about a week but cant stop thinking about it. Was playing on Full Tilt, trying to get into FTOPS Event #9 1.5mil guarantee. got into a ftp 18handed 1st place got a seat into the 2,500ftp sat into event #9.. i won the 18 handed and continued on the next day in the 2500 ftp sat. 2800 played and only 100 qualified.. 4 hours later i finish 105th.. 5 spots away.. Im not sure what happened.. blinds got big and i went card dead.. when i tried to make a small steal i got re raised right back..

couple days later played in a 566 person trny and got 11th and a 79 person trny and got 13th.. my play is strong until it comes up late and close to the final table.. then i just crash. Any Ideas or Suggestions??? I'm messing up somewhere.
