Sitngo 60 seater at 888

This is a 60 seater tournament played on 6 seater tables at 1c buyin. Top 6 places will be paid and starting stack is 500 chips. The game begins and I'm dealt Ace 4. With only 500 chips and 2 minute blind levels, I can't sit around waiting for a good hand for too long. There's 42 left and I've not played a hand yet. I'm dealt A10 and I raised 4x BB and get one caller. I don't have too many chips left so I deicde to bet all in after the flop K82. My opponent calls and shows his cards. He has A6. Nothing comes to help either off us and my 10 plays as the higher kicker. I'm dealt AA as BB and everybody folds; I hate it when that happens. I'm currently 12th out of the remainng 23 players. Chips are getting low now and I'm dealt 22 as BB. The player behind me raises pre-flop and I decide to give it a go and bet all in. He calls and shows Q6. Everyone else folded. The flop comes down AK8, the turn is a 6 and river is a 3. I know my hand wasn't the greatest but it held on the flop and had I had more chips, I certainly could have bought that pot. I was out and despite being knocked out, I enjoyed the game. I decided to spend another 1c and buyin to another tournament. The game begins and I'm dealt !10 suited. I'm tempted to call the all in bet but 3 players are in the hand and I decide to fold. Pocket 7s win after hitting trips on the turn. Good fold by me. A few hands on and I'm dealt AJ suited. Someone raises before me and I decided to go all in. Two callers. One shows 88 and the other has A2 (table chip leader). The flop is 7104, the turn is a J and the river is 10 so I take the pot and triple up. I won a couple of hands but the blinds go up so quickly, my chips are dwindling fast. There are 12 players out of 60 remaining and I'm currently 9th. I could win one of the smaller prizes (small being the operative word here). Something strange just happened. I was dealt int a hand and folded. The hand was still in play and yet I was moved to another table and put as BB. This was very dodgy bearing in mind the hand was still in play on the other table. Needless to say, I lost all my chips and was knocked out of the tourney on K9 suited against pocket 7s. I did hit a king but they also hit a 7 giving them trips. I came 9th out of 60 places so not too bad. No cash prize though.
