Yeah, that was my experience at the showboat a few weeks ago. Entered into a $100. Doubled up early, after first break I was doing good. Moved to a new table, lost half my stack with straight and flush draw against two all in opponents. 15 minutes later without playing a hand I'm in push/fold mode and I push my 55 from the bb into chipleaders 33 from the sb. 3 on flop and my day is over (coincidently that same night I played at the Taj Mahal in a midnight tourney and the same thing happened. Doubled up early, lost a huge pot to someone that couldn't fold top pair with a 2 kicker, basically to the only person at the table that you couldn't bluff, then after the chipleader took down about 10 pots in a row with huge post-flop bets, I got my money in against him and another with AA v QQ v K7, four spades later I'm out of the tourney.)

The showboat structure was alright for a while, at least they had 20 minute blinds. The Taj Mahal did 12 minute blinds so people start shoving earlier or get caught playing crap hands cause they are trying to make something happen earlier.
