I just won a stars 27 turbo by showing down only 5 hands, the first of which was the bubble buster. 2 more happened 3 handed, then 2 more HU.
I know that no is keeping track, but I would have to guess that if you have done this that you would notice. So, has anyone ever won a SNG showing down fewer hands than this?

I thought I found one where I showed down only five hands, but then I realized I hadn't counted two showdowns which I lost.

Found a six (5 wins) showdown win.

Found a five (4 wins) showdown win. Your record has at least been tied. (It was also a 27 turbo.) BTW, I had no idea at the time.

This is the first hand I showed down. You gotta love opponents that will let you get half the chips without ever showing anything down.
