"The Ferguson" Tournament

Last night, I played in "The Ferguson," which is a $1 tournament named after Chris Ferguson and his bankroll challenge.  200 out of the appx 1200 players were paid.  I  believe  top prize was over $100.  This tournament is a good way to get some tournament experience and have a chance of getting some money back.  Unfortunately, there isn't much to tell about this tournament as far as my play goes. I only played 2 hands. I got all the money in on the flop with AA and somebody called me with a gutshot which they hit on the river.  
Early in this tournament it looks like the play is pretty wild and fast.  I think if I was able to survive the first few levels, that play would return to a more normal pace.  I will keep attempting this tournament.  I know that if I am patient enough, I can finish near the top. 
After this tournie, my account balance is $59.36.  I am up $9.36 from my original bankroll.
