Biggest Live Tournament Comeback?

All skill, my man. All skill.

No other explanation.

For the coolest comeback story I have seen... it was in my home tournament and the guy who pulled it off's name was Ryan, he was notorious for somehow not busting.

He found himself with 75 chips at 75/150 blinds and he was UNDER THE GUN! I am not sure how many players remained but there were at least 8 players with about 30,000 chips in play. He folded his UTG hand and proceeded to ultimately win the tournament after winning his BB allin, SB allin, and many more races.

LOL!

But I'll take it.....maybe the bad stretch has run its course and I'm due for some unreal luck just like the unreal bad luck I have dealt with for the last 2 months.

But this one was actually not even my best run in one day. Boy.....I'm so lucky, people are gonna mistake me for George! JUST KIDDING BUDDY......I dont need you coming after me anymore than you already do

But this was just last year about this time out in Vegas for the WSOP. I decided I was going to play in the $150 freezeout at Caesars when we got in....and I took down a 4 way chip chop for roughly $3500, then proceeded to play in a single table $175 directly after the tourney....

We were 5 handed and I just took a rough one....I believe I got it in with AK versus AQ, and got sucked out on....I was left with a single 25 chip...and I was the BB late in the 50-100 level. I finished that hand with 100 chips when my A5 turned in the wheel on the end. Then, I tripled up the next hand to give me 300 and the button. Then I tripled up when I woke up with KK in the cutoff in the same orbit.....so now sitting with roughly 1000. That is when the magic hand did its work.....I got it in UTG in the same orbit with 3's in a 3 way pot....of course flopped a set to give me about an average chip stack......then AK won a race against the chip leader to make me the chip leader!!! Then I busted everyone from that point....I had such a chip lead headsup that the obligatory chop was not even mentioned! I took the whole thing down!

Phew....I could use another one of those runs.....they are fun

Once in one of Collin's games I made it to heads up play against George Wolfe. There were 105,000 chips in play, and he only had 3,300. Don't ask me how he did it, but somehow he managed to win that tournament. Man, is he lucky!

I got the 2nd biggest comeback at Dave's I think.

I was down to 175 with the blinds 25/50 and about 25 people left, and I moved with A7 suited from MP. I got called by the BB who had 88. Flop came 864, turn was blank, river was a 5. From there I doubled up a couple more times and ended up winning the whole thing.
