Anatomy of an MTT 8-game loss

Looking at the bar chart of my stack size over the course of the first MTT I entered last night (an MTT 8-game), one hand sticks out like a sore thumb. It's hand 21. Let me check the archives ...

Ah, yes. That was the limit hold'em hand where the river put the fourth spade to a flush on the board, and I had no choice but to fold. I lost $800. I had a pair of aces, which probably would have won the hand in other circumstances. Here are my delta aggregates by flavor for that MTT:

       -80          0        -80      2 Triple Draw 2-7 Lowball Limit
      -960          0       -960      4 Hold'em Limit
      -180          0       -180      3 Omaha Hi/Lo Limit
      -150        424       -574      7 Razz Limit
       -40          0        -40      2 7 Card Stud Limit
       300        370        -70      3 7 Card Stud Hi/Lo Limit
      -330          0       -330      3 Hold'em No Limit
       -60          0        -60      3 Omaha Pot Limit

I couldn't stick to my resolution; I entered an MTT HORSE immediately after losing the 8-game. I lasted a bit longer in that one, actually.
