What a comeback!!!
Hello,
Took down a 50 player tourney yesterday after being almost out of chips 2 hours into the game. Started of with 2000 chips and was sitting back for the first hour getting some horrid hands that arent even worth waisting the blinds on. Then the cards started coming in but my luck was still missing. Lost a couple of big hands after flopping a full house one time and then my opponent catching a higher full on the river. Then picked up a King high spade flush on the turn went all in and was called by pocket aces, one of them being an Ace of spades. River came out another spade and that brought me down to 450 chips with blinds beign 150/300. At this point I though my night was over until I got moved to another table. I got a little lucky I must admit, getting dealt KK 3 times in a row which was followed by JJ. Got called all-in on all four hands and won so in a matter of 10 minutes my stack was over 8000. Now that I had a decent stack I started playing my game and by the time there were 2 tables left I was chip-leading with close to 30,000. Once we moved to the final table my stack was still at near 30,000 but very soon I took control of the game. Knocked out 4 out of 9 other players at the table and when it was time for heads up I had 2 1/2 times the stack of the opposing player. One on One play didnt last too long as I was faced with an all-in just after a few hands. Having A,3 of hearts I gave it a go and was up againt 9,8 of hearts. Neither one of us caught anything on board so the final hand was kind of plain but the important thing is that I got the win under my belt and proved that you are never out of the game untill you have actually lost.
