sick, sick call and bad loss

so i'm in a montreal open satellite on FT. 2 seats to next round w/3rd paying cash. this was maybe the single biggest roller coaster ride i ever had in a tourney. up and down and up and down, everybody winning big hands then losing big ones, nobody could make the bubble burst. whiskey has been one of the all-time luckboxes, while flushhead was doing everything possible to donate all his chips to whiskey. then this hand came up...

I'm sick about this one. this flushHead guy was an absolute clown, and did not deserve to get the seat. And whiskey called a raise preflop when he was short/almost out, putting in almost half of the small stack he had left, with K8 off, and caught a 5679 board to stay alive. Then there were the countless hands where flush would throw out a small bet against one of the shorties on the flop, do it again on the turn, then fold the river. he single-handedly kept them alive and ultimately caused my demise. Just makes me SO crazy.
