Three kings went south

Last night, in the second tournament I entered, I ran into some bad luck on a hand where I'd been dealt cowboys (a pair of kings). I hit a set of kings on the turn, at which point I went all in. I got one caller, who was an 18% underdog but hit his flush to cripple my stack. I started the hand with $840, and ended it with just $75. You could say my three kings went south! I was dealt a pair of queens on the very next hand, but they lost to a pair of aces, and I finished that tournament in 5th place. The good news is, I made the money in the other two tournaments I entered.
