You were short stacked in a middle stage of the tourny, you needed to take risks or you would be blinded out eventually. He saw the opportunity to take you out and leapt at it. I can't fault either of your actions. Those FT turbos are more a matter of luck than skill.

The fact that you were low stack and that the blinds were high and people were starting to build up big stacks pretty much pushes you to go all-in. So you made the right decision by going all-in no question there. The opponent just got lucky on the turn. Dont beat yourself up about it.
