Last Woman Standing & Out on the Bubble

I qualified for, and played, the $1K mega at The Bike.  Out of the 71 participants, I made it to the final two tables.  I chipped up, but took some sick beats on the river.  I was down to 10 blinds and 14 players, but managed to get back in it, and then some.

I built my stack up to just over 40K when I picked up AcKc in early position.  With a 300 ante and blinds at 1K/2K, I raised to 8K, but picked up two callers - - the blinds.  I flopped an Ace with two diamonds on board.  The blinds checked around to me and I shoved.  After the small blind folded, I was called by the big blind who had 7s in the hole and flopped a set.  He said he was priced in when the small blind smooth called pre-flop.  Can you say, "cold decked?"

He covered me and I went out 3 from a payday and 7 from a W.S.O.P. main event seat.  Needless to say, I'm feeling pretty bummed right now.
