Default What\'s your biggest comeback?

10 person $11 SNG (blinds t10/20)
Last night, second hand of the night, my AKs saw a flop of K96 rainbow. Pot was raised significantly PF and was about t1100. I push for my last t1200 and get called by KK. Oops. I am left with t40 with all ten player remaining. I came back to win 2nd.

I think I once came back from t80 to win first in one before as well.

Just curious if anyone had any similiar “chip and a chair” comback stories.

t158 at t75/t150 on Stars
t394 at t300/t600 on Party

I had one shorter than that but with 8k chips HU I lost with my AT to his A8.

I came back from t40 on level 1, to win it all. I made a thread about it, there were some awesome suckouts on there.

t45 chips last night in a $114 at 75/150, but I only finished 3rd. I was still pretty happy with this comeback though.

I give Curtains credit for this one, he said hi to me in the chat box just as I was losing the big hand and I responded with "hi, bye" and he said "no you're still alive".

I then doubled on my next 4 hands or something and asked if he could stop by my other games and mention that I was still alive. I think he would have but he was too busy asking me what buy-in it was we were playing and telling me that he didn't realize we were playing 2 SNGs together (which we weren't).

Good times. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I was ready to close the window and go to bed when I saw that little t40 sitting there and TEN people still in the tourney. Good times.

Last night I got down to heads up with only t800 to his t14200. I doubled up on like 5 straight hands to beat him. Good times!!

I think a $50 SNG back before the Chip count increase from t1000 to t2000.

It was heads up, and I lost a huge pot down to t30. Blinds 300/600. I think I won the next 9 hands in a row.

I once came back level 1 or 2 with 2 (yes, two) chips to win third place. I told that story in every game for about a month afterwards.
