Default Biggest Comeback in a SNG?

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.

Had a couple of other notable mentions but that's the latest I could remember.

I came back from 60 chips a day or two ago. On that teamfreeshell site, there's a SNG where a guy came back from 20 chips.

came back from 30 chips today after losing 2nd hand, took 2nd place after qq got cracked. Still pleases me though. Came back from 135 chips in a tournament to place 3rd before also. I hate being short stacked and try my hardest to figure out a way to play to build a stack(especially in MTT's) but some of the best poker I think that I have played has been during these short stack times. It kills my heart to have to endure them though.

I played a tourney yesterday where this guy got down to 10 chips by the third hand, and came back to finish second.

Five-handed with blinds of 100/200. I had 75 chips and came back to win.

But it was not all that remarkable. Two straight all-ins and I had 900 chips. After that it is not all that strange to go on and win.
