Sleep deprivation and the inability to focus for long hours on the repetition could be the problem.

Also, some folks of little skill get lucky and go deep in the tournaments and then reality hits.

Another problem is, when you get deep, you sometimes stop thinking about "I have to protect this set with a decent raise" to, "if I don't lose any more chips this hour, I'm gonna make six figures." That can wreck your game.
