Biggest Comeback in a SNG?

[nova]

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!

[gasgod]

When there are multiple players left, it's not at all unusual to see a very short stack get back into contention. Quadruple up, then triple up, and a t50 stack becomes t600.

But when the comeback is all HeadsUp, it is a remarkable feat to win with only .5% of the chips. I'm impressed.

Tell me, how did your opponent react to this? I'd be impressed if (s)he managed to type "gg".

Yesterday I was down to 20 chips with 5 people left and the blinds were 200/400. I came back to take the chip lead, but ended up taking second. It was unreal.

[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.

[nova]

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.

[Ogre]

Just had a 72 chip comeback with 5 players left blinds of 100/200

[Skipbidder]

Had 20 chips left at a full table and had to post 15 of them in the blind on the next hand. Came back to win.

[Ogre]

you win

[frozenhops]

Not that I expect people to think this is true (as it sounds absolutely ridiculous, I realize) but a few months back my roomate had split on a previous hand (was in earlier position so he got the extra chip). Lost all his chips again to the guy, ended up having 1 total chip out of all 8000 (party sit n go).

Probably around 6 people or so left, he wins, 10 straight all-ins, literally, to get into chip position, and then comes back and wins the whole thing. I know this sounds ridiculous, i'll try to go grab the hand history and tourney # when he gets back this weekend.

We started doing all sorts of ridiculous dances, 1 chip!
