Biggest MTT comebacks
 

In the $1050 on Stars yesterday I say legggggggggy left with 100 chips at the 15/30 blind level after his AA got cracked by 66 and there were about 1400 people left or so and he ended up 99th.

Any other really good ones?(besides Jack Sraus)

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I was down to 1.5bb's at a FT of a 180 man on Stars (9 handed) and came back to win it.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

With the blinds at 1000/2000 i had 125 chips left in the party sunday 215 almost a year ago. Like 100 people left. I came 10th. That's my best.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

Clearly THEOSU has one of the greatest comebacks in MTT history.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I was down to 160 very early in a Party Super last week and made the FT, finishing 8th for $2300.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I was down to 1.5 big blinds in the $3 rebuy on stars with about 40 players left and finished in 4th place. Probably would have won too but but I busted out second in chips to the chips leader when my AQ lost to his AT.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

10 players to go, i was down to <1.5bb. I managed somehow to get a chip lead.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

UB 10K. Was down to about 200 chips from 1500 starting stack at the 50/100 level. Went into the final table with almost 3x the # of chips as the 2nd stack.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I had 5000 chips in a 10+R with the blinds at 1k/2k and came fourth.

I had 80 chips in the second part of a double shootout with the blinds at 15/30 and won.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

1500 starting stack.

2nd hand of 200 +/- player AP tourney had AA all-in pf cracked, I had him covered by 50.

Finished 7th [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

TheOSU in the $10 rebuy--he was down to having less than the ante

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

plus the stacks were huge at the time..think he ended up at around 200-300K by the end of it.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

$33 Deep stack on stars on sunday, with 10 players left, I was 9th in chips with 8 BBs. The player in 10th had less than 1 BB. Me and him ended up getting heads up and chopping it.

2) 10 chips left at blinds 10-20 on the BB in the new 50+5 90 man SNG. Finished 7th

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

Everyone already knows mine, but it makes me happy to remember it, so...Down to 5700 at the end of day 1 in Atlantis. Bottom 30 of the ~300 people remaining and less than 10bb to start day 2. Finish day 2 with 275k (chip leader) and go on to win the tournament.

It had been a rough two weeks. No moneys in any tournaments - but this hopefully is the beginning of a nice run. Would be a good time to have it, with the Poker Room Grand this weekend.

Now, it's easy for me to say that it's been all bad luck, but that's not true. I've made some horrible decisions during the past two weeks. I don't think it's a stretch to say that until yesterday, at least once a day I had made a move that, IMMEDIATELY upon clicking the action, I said "wtf? that was ridiculous." On some of the occasions I said that AS I did the action. Yesterday in the 45k I had none of those. I don't think I made one poor decision all tournament.

Even the hand that crippled me wasn't a bad decision. This is the last hand at the 10k/20k level, 15k/30k follows. The players on my left seemed quite tight in the time I'd been with them:

So there I sat for 5 minutes with 1898 left, blinds 15k/30k with a 1500 ante. I was fortunate to pick up AJ and get protection from QJ - the ace played. I got to 12k. I took a hand off, then "pushed" with TT and won a flip from KJ - moving into the top 27 at the same time, which was a nice accomplishment considering. That got me to 48k. Next hand, UTG+1, I push with K2 of spades. I ran into AJ and AK, but the board made a club flush, and no one had a club. I took 56k. UTG with K9, I put it in again, ran into AQ, and flopped the straight - 168k. Just like that.

I folded my blinds, pushed A8s and AKo in the next orbit, folded my blinds again, then pushed A8, A9 and AA on consecutive hands (showing the AA). I was hoping someone got sick of it, but no luck. I folded the blinds again, pushed AT, when it got back to my big blind. My stack got to 340k by this point, and the guy who limped was an enormous stack...

The folks rooting for me are mostly 2+2ers who got wind of my comeback.

That was about as interesting as it got. I won a big coinflip with 88 v. AK to put me over a million, but I used up all my big hands to get there, as I didn't pick up much from there on out. I tried to steal to sustain the stack, but I got more action than I wanted from them, and leaked down to 600k, when I went out.

Apparently, I was the talisman, because the player that busted me won.

Hell of a ride it was.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

Stars $100 MTT, was down to 314 chips with blinds 100/200 and 25 ante, came back to win it all.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

All,

WHAT THE F?

There was this kid, SCHNEIDERS.....

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

Stars $4.00 180 seat SnG tonight. Was SS at 4,000 on FT. Came back in two hands to over 50k and ended up winning outright. It was my first FT and my first win on a big tourney... My BR grew by 100X I am still in shock...WooHoo

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I was down to T300 or so with the blinds at 50/100 and came back to finish 2nd in a 626 person $20+2 on Stars.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I had that table open and saw that whole thing unfold. It was as crazy to watch as I am sure it was to actually play.


I busted out sixth in a small(for most of you [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]) event over at Tribeca, a 3K guarantee. I stick around to watch it play out. When it gets heads up the chip leader has about a 17 to 1 chip lead. Having played with him a few times I wonder if that is enough. As it turns out it isnt. With the short stack having just over 2 blinds the leader open folds his small blind. Now the shorty moves in next hand and the chip leader types something ridiculous like "T8 gh" and folds getting better than 2-1 to possibly end the game.
It still is a massive lead though, until the big stack decides to push A2 two hands later and gets called by A9. Game on. The chip leader goes into calling mode apparently now trying to just end it. And shortly afterwards it ends- with the heads up shorty winning.
The most amazing thing wasnt the comeback size. It was the fact the leader may not have played a single hand correctly once they got heads up. And the entire comeback only took about 10 minutes total.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

Stud8 tourney at Stars. Lost a huge pot last hand before the break and had 12 chips left (15 ante). Came back to get 3rd.

Re: Biggest MTT comebacks
 

I was in a Stars $20/180 about an hour in with @2000 chips. I unexpectedly had to leave to pick up my son. When I returned I was down to about 400 chips and in 80th place out of 80 left. My first hand sitting down I was on the big blind which was about half my chips with j,k. Called all in and tripled up with a straight. The very next hand got A,A and double up again to get to about average chip stack. Was chip leader with 5 left and got sucked out on and finished 5th.
