Two nights ago on Party $10 SnG I witnessed a short stack @15 in round 2 finish in 2nd place after accumulating over 1500. It helped that he was getting VERY lucky on his all-ins and was never against the eventual winner until the end as he was running over the table.

best I have done is getting 20 back to around 800, before getting bad beat and knocked out in 5th, all that work for nothing. Came back from 300 to win heads up though.

Saw a guy go t20 to 1st place once (I was second). He won his first all in with 8 limpers to octuple(?) through, tripled through a couple of hands later, and he was back in the game, short-stacked but able to play. It was nothing short of inspirational.

I've gone from 25 chips to winning 1st on a SnG. Unfortunately this was only for ultimate points on UB.com

Way back when I first discovered sit-n-goes (*limit* sit-n-goes) on Party, I managed to win the first 5 $10 sit-n-goes I ever played. In one of these I was down to 10 chips at one point. This game is easy. :P

My personal best, $147 with blinds 50/100 in MTT and I'm UTG, about 80 players left still. I get AQ, quadruple up, and go on to win the tournament.

Best I've seen- a guy with $17 with blinds of 15/30 in a MTT with about 150 players left went on to take the chip lead.
