Turning 200k chips into 2 million is a great achievment. This only proves wat i use to say that being in front of a tourney before the final table starts doesn’t give any advantage to the players. I had na experience recently in a big tourney in which i was 2nd and reach first place because the first one lost some chips and it was when i felt more unconfortable. Although i had more chips, i was a target, such as those in the end of the rank. I only played my better hands but the table didn’t helped and fat i was out from the top, just like these guys.
there are so many stories that a short stack has take down a tournament... a chip a chair story.....there must be some luck on his side to comeback like this and hopefully taking down this one....
