lol That´s pretty sick, yep.
I´ve done it a number of times myself, just hitting a few good sets of cards, double+ up, double+ up.....
Great feeling after getting busted that bad.
BUT... How the hell did you play that first hand? Horrible really. You had absolutely nothing but a high A, and aftervilain re-raises your raise, it was pretty obvious he hit something. It was a very dangerous board that could have hit SO MANY combinations. Still you called the re-raise and then went all-in next hand as well???
(I mean this to help you by giving some advice)
Are you one of those people that cannot fold good cards? AK is worthless against anyone holding a small pair on the board. Can you fold QQ? Or KK when an A hits the board and someone bets on it probably holding an A? These are very important elements in being a good Poker player. You need to be able to lay down beat hands, even monsters.
Just an observation. Curious to hear what you think.

It doesnt happen that often but i love when it does. I also have had tourneys going well, reaching the last 20 out of 1000 field (it happened in freerolls), being crushed almost to death, and with less than one big blind starting to grow up again and reach the final heads up. It’s just beautiful. When I am playing real with my friends and someone gets to only having 3 or 4 BB’s in an advanced stage, everyone starts saying “come on, throw that away, what do you think you are still going to do with that?” but the truth is sometimes it is still possible!

Very impressive and not to steal from your post, but some of my best finishes is when I've been beat down, but don't give up. Great comeback to make it in the $$.
I see a lot of players start going allin after taking a hit and losing the remaider of their chips. I'm sure you've all seen this yourselves, but that's about like giving up. I play as hard with 100 chips as I do my initial 1000, 1500, etc. and believe they're some of the best games played so if your someone that plays the allin act after taking a hit reconsider, it could be your best game ever. Good luck to All!

Holy, that's a pretty epic comeback opportunity for sure. Glad to hear you were up for the challenge. What were some of the hands that you won in order to double your way out of that bad situation.

Posted by Emmenaar89: Haha lol from 64 chips to 27K. Thats really a sick comeback, good job mate. The poker Gods are with you apperently Keep up the good work!
Of course, and that's big help from poker god, lol you should attach hand history ( journey 64 chips ! to 27 K ) should be interesting. looks like never give up in poker is not a joke, you prove it. Well done and congratz.
