Worst beat of the tournament was AKs v 77, flop AK7. Both went all in, not pretty for the guy holding AK.
As for the luck/skill thing, a good player will make less mistakes over time so will lose less. Beginners tend to see too many flops and definitely stick around too long after missing the flop. So many times you see a fish with pocket 8s stick around when the flop is all broadway cards and the pot odds say "run away", sometimes they suck out on the river and take the pot but that's a good thing. Keeps them playing and they always remember the wins but forget the losses.
Poker messes with your brain, people are unwilling to cut their losses when they miss the flop but until they realise that money in the pot is dead they keep on chasing.
Wish I was as good as Mr Rankin though, I could do with $3000 about now
