Default Horrible beat

It was just a stupid $200 freeroll, but since I'm busto, and I spent 5 hours going from 8000 players to 31, this was not the outcome I had in mind after seeing the flop, and calling the all-in, and seeing I had 96% equity against villain.

PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em Tourney, Big Blind is t20000 (8 handed) Hand History Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com (Format: 2+2 Forums)

UTG (t77278)
UTG+1 (t537512)
MP1 (t195042)
MP2 (t302268)
Hero (t262045)
Button (t406722)
SB (t365476)
BB (t582131)

Preflop: Hero is CO with 4[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], A[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img].
<font color="#666666">4 folds</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t60000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Button raises to t140000</font>, <font color="#666666">2 folds</font>, Hero calls t80000.

Flop: (t286000) 3[img]/images/graemlins/heart.gif[/img], 2[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img], 5[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>
Hero checks, <font color="#CC3333">Button bets t100000</font>, <font color="#CC3333">Hero raises to t121045</font>, Button calls t21045.

Turn: (t528090) 2[img]/images/graemlins/club.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

River: (t528090) Q[img]/images/graemlins/diamond.gif[/img] <font color="#0000FF">(2 players)</font>

Final Pot: t528090

Results in white below: <font color="#FFFFFF">
Hero has 4d Ac (straight, five high).
Button has Qh Qs (full house, queens full of twos).
Outcome: Button wins t528090. </font>

My best TuffFish impersonation ensues.

Poor preflop play. You need to shove here rather than calling away ~40% of your stack and praying for a miracle flop.

yeah, I know, I know - but still, going out like that sucks. More for me, because I can't deposit or play live anywhere, these days.

"$200 freeroll... I spent 5 hours going from 8000 players to 31"

OK, enough already, next time I'll lie and say it was a $200+15.
Like it's not punishment enough to be stuck playing these things.
