Re: Biggest comeback?
I've got 2 near comebacks-didn't win the tourney either time to really finish the "chip and a chair" cliche.
1. Cheapo $1+0 Omaha/8 Tournament at PokerStars with ~700 entrants. I make it to final table short-stacked. I hang on as the big stack mows over the competition and somehow end up in a heads-up situation with about 50K to his ~1 million. I then somehow over the next 20 or so minutes fight back to briefly take the chip lead before blowing it.
2. Small $5 pot-limit draw tourney at Planet Poker with only about 40 entrants or so. The tournament is paying 5 places. I lose a big pot and I'm left with 50 chips, blinds of 250/500 IIRC, and I'm all-in next hand in the big blind. I then go to win about 5 or 6 hands in a row, another player busts on the bubble, and I eventually take chip lead with 4 players left. I then blow it again and end up 3rd.
