Icarus splash

My October 20, 2011 post entitled "Dolphin leap" commenced thus:

In keeping with my recent use of aquatic metaphor, I ended last night's session with a dolphin leap. That is, I was underwater for most of the session, but managed to leap out of the water and into the sunlight at the end.

In this post I'll describe the opposite of a dolphin leap; I call it an Icarus splash. An Icarus splash is when you've been above water the whole tournament, but exit in a New York minute on the final hand. Last night, I suffered an Icarus splash; I made a flush but lost to a full house. I had the suspicion it was the only MTT-R NLHE Icarus splash I'd ever suffered, but I was wrong; I've actually had six of them in my career.
