Biggest Comeback in a SNG?

[nova]

Played in a 20+2 on PP tonight, and lost an all-in hand with almost equal stacks.

I was left with 60 chips, my opponent the remaining 7940. Much to my own surprise, I came back and won! Even woke up my wife to tell her, which I actually got the "wow that's great" and she was sincere.

Is there anyone who was closer to being out and came back to win? Not looking for compliments, I'm honestly curious if anyone else has been down to like, 5 or 10 chips and made it all the way back. I was only on the respirator heads up.

If I woke my wife up to tell her I just made a big comeback to win $40 I think she would punch me.

Well, I won 80 not 40 [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] Nah I was just surprised at it. I'll work on the converter to get the sequence up.

Also I checked, it wasn't 60 chips it was 40 chips. Thanks for the link!

No, you should have gotten $60 for 2nd but you got $100 for first so you won $40.

When the 2 table tournaments were fairly new on party I lost an all-in against an equal stack and was down to 15 chips UTG with 25/50 blinds and 13 players left. Eventually ended up winning, that was nice.

[microbet]

ditto. As unusual as the comeback was, the waking up the wife part was way more shocking.

I guess before I could possibly see it before we had kids.

Opponent had complimented me on my play before I had my legs cut out. I was just tossing the bit in about my wife for some added comedy: she was on the couch with the tv asleep.
