Mizerak went from last $200 to 5th ITM last year

Single-table sit n' go on Empire. Start with 800 chips. Early on I give up most of my chips during three-way action when I flop an open-ended straight draw.
I'm left with 75 (that's SEVENTY-FIVE) measly chips left. I go on to win the whole thing, I kid you not. I just made the right stands at the right times. And when my chip stack was healthy again played some amazing poker.
Heads-up we tossed around the chip lead numerous times, but eventually I took it back with 5/5 vs. his 9/10 (all-in pre-flop and I snagged a set, he hit his pair on the river) Then I took him down with Q/7 vs. his J/4.
Going from 75 chips to 8,000 was freaking amazing, I've never staged a comeback like that. Please feel free to share your greatest comeback stories, there HAS to be someone who's done it with 50 chips, or even 30! [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Rather than tell you I've made comebacks from less, albeit true, I read of one major live event last year IIRC, where Michael Mizerak was down to his last $200 in chips, covered by the blinds he was forced to put up, and came back to end up in 5th in the $1M+ event. Now THAT'S a comeback!
