    $22 rebuy on stars last night...

    Blinds being 2500/5000 with 500 ante I entered the final table with 5700 chips. I some how ended up winning it.

    Please share other chip and chair comebacks you know of...

    highlights:

    That left luetch1 with a little more than 35 million chips to buller00's 5.9 million. Buller00 offered an even chop, which for some reason luetch1 didn't feel was quite in order with his chip stack. The heads-up match commenced, with buller00 half-jokingly declaring "then you go down." What might have started as a joke quickly became a reality, as it took only a few minutes of heads-up play for the tide to turn and buller00 to storm into the chip lead. It took another couple dozen hands, but finally butler00 put the cap on one of the most impressive come-from-behind wins in recent memory when he got all the chips in the middle for the very last time.

    Luetch1 raised from the button, and buller00 made the call with the chip lead. The flop came down 6s-4h-6c, and buller00 checked. Luetch1 fired at the pot, and buller00 pulled the trigger on the check-raise. Luetch1 thought for a brief moment before calling, and buller00 moved all in when the 5s hit the turn. Luetch1 thought for a long moment before calling for his tournament life with Ac-Jh, only to see buller00 tabled 6d-3d for flopped trips. The 10d on the river was irrelevant, and luetch1, who led almost the entire final table, fell in 2nd place ($73,854). Buller00 came from a huge chip deficit to take the lead, then the tournament, as he finished in first place for $105,857.40. In his own words, buller00 "put on a clinic, didn't I?" And we can't disagree one bit. Congrats to everyone who cashed in this first Sunday Warm-Up of 2009, may this year continue to be every bit as prosperous for all of you!
