I could have gotten it in about 9 minutes last night but I choked. Then choked for the next hour.
Then choked for an hour and a half today. Finally got it but honestly, it doesn't really feel like I did. I think I'm gonna try to do it again.

Man. Man oh man oh man.
I’m choosing to focus on the fact that this is a huge PB rather than on the fact that I was less than a Tetris away from the max.")

Watching back, I didnt have to burn NEARLY as much as I did. But all of my PBs have been on the back of unnecessary anxiety burning so that I dont top out before killscreen, so I guess thats where Im at.")

I really tried to choke this one. My brain really wanted to wreck this one as well. But I got it.
This was during the warmup for a 4-player bracket I was playing at twitch.tv/MonthlyTetris the other two players were knocking out round 1 as I was playing this, and thats what you hear in the background. I went on to win the bracket despite numbing PB nerves.
This is also my earliest maxout PB, calculated at 187.4 lines. Thats a maxout by the end of level 24!")
