Poker interruptus

There's never a good time to have a power outage when you're playing online poker. As it turns out, however, there is a worst such time. I should know, since I experienced it last night :-) I had made it under the lights in the second tournament I entered, and was the chip leader. There were only seven players, including me, still alive. I had a legitimate shot of winning all the marbles. All of a sudden, lights out! What made this especially cruel was I didn't immediately realize the predicament I was in, since my laptop seamlessly switched to battery backup power. Unfortunately, the router which provides me with my wifi connection was knocked out of commission. All I could do was turn off my laptop, brush my teeth, and go to bed. This morning, I checked out where I finished - 4th place. Not bad, for someone forced to sit out the most crucial hands in the tournament.
