Flushed away

Last night, in the second tournament I entered, I had to deal with one too many flushes; you could say I got flushed away :-) On the first hand, I was dealt a big slick, then flopped a pair of aces, but lost $540 when an opponent hit a flush on the river. I battled back gamely, but ran into another flush on hand 30 which took me to the felt. On that hand, the flush was hit on the turn, and my opponent boiled a frog by not betting too big on that street. I'd been dealt pocket queens, and hit a set of queens on the very street which gave my opponent his flush.
