Faldo Finishes 5th in PokerStars Tourney

It was their standard 180 person tournament and Faldo had his way with them until the final two tables.

My (AK) got run down by a desperate all-in with (QJ).
Then my (Ad Kd) lost an all-in coin flip to (TT) and I was in the middle of the pack.

Held on until the final table, and picked up some chips until this hand. What is a poker player supposed to do with this?

SB: R03 (28000)
BB: Cee (82000)
UTG: Aki (32000)
Faldo: (41000)
DJL: (87000)
Blinds: 800-1600 ante 150

Aki raises to 3200.
Faldo raises to 30000 and it folds to Cee, who moves all-in – the move Faldo wanted.
Aki folds, and I call with (AA) and Cee has (TT).
The flop is [T38] and Faldo is gone.

Two- outers just like to find Faldo. Won twelve times my buy-in, but that was not the prize I wanted. I was feelin it for a tourney win here, but it was not to be.
