greatest comeback ever? - Page 2

A few months ago some guy won the Party $500,000 tournament with 8000 chips left 4 handed against stacks in the range of 1-3 million. He didn't even have enough to cover the ante, came back and took down first for $140,000.

Keep up the good work though.

As a donkament playa, I can confirm two things:

Greatest comeback ever? - no

Great comeback - definitely

This is impressive regardless of stakes. Please let me borrow your luckbox sometime.

There was this one dude, and all he had was like one chip left, plus of course his chair, and get this: HE WON! That, my friend, was the greatest comeback ever.

So one time we were playing in a home tourney and I raised a buddy of mine, and he raised me what he had in front of him. I called and won. So he's about to leave, and when he picks up his beer out of the table, there's another chip, like a 50 (we start with T2500).

We all agree to let him sit back down and play and he doubles up a few times, and all of a sudden he's got a couple hundred, and I knocked out the other three people at the table, so he went from fifth to second. He doubles through me a few more times and I'm starting to get nervous. I've still got him like 25k to 5k or something like that, but it would be quite embarassing to lose this.

I get dealt KK and he goes all in, and of course I call. AA. Motherf&^ker.

Flop comes Kxx. Rest are rags, I take it down. I was a fun, albeit very stressful tournament. Finding that chip won the dude like another 200 bucks.

You're too nice. That generally won't go over in most home games, and definitely not in any casino. He was obviously all-in and so that 50 chip should have been in the last pot. I would've told him "nice try, but you're not getting away with that here".

i lost a hu sng after having the chip lead 1970 to 30. And I was down 60 to 1940 at one point before coming back and then losing, some people refuse to die.
