I watched every episod e this year and mark definately lost his flow with the break. The whole final table played pretty tight early i thought and it seemed every time mark tried to get his looser aggressive style going he'd run into something and have to give up hand early. I really felt bad for him when he bluffed off his stack, but it was a good attempt and guy just made a good call. Of course there is nothing to be ashamed of finishing 9th in the main event, unbelievably impressive to do it 2 years straight, hopefully he can get over being first out again at ft and see what an accomplishment it was.
