What??? This guy was almost "dying" on the blinds, he had seven times less chips than the top three leaderboard when there were 27 players left. To bet on this guy yesterday to win this tourney would give a massive odd. He have been doing good results on this tourneys in past years, but after yesterday's results, no one was thinking he could actually get far, not even dreaming about winning, but it happened!

One hell of a comeback and again the beauty of the game that as long as you are at the table, things can happen. Thats one sick total earnings amount - i always wonder how much these guys actually have though, they tend to gamble on all kindsa s**t and also it doesnt include the loses at cash and tourney buyins that got them zero.
