    my friend TheSkearnel is playing in the pokerstars 5$ rebuy and addon tournament and was crippled down 425 in chips at the 600/1200 level with 75 ante...he has proceeded to build back up to 50,000 and get to the average stack and is now sitting at a little over 38k at the third break...go cheer him on :)...just an amazing thing to see the way he managed to claw back

    I was at 10 chips in a 5 dollar turbo after the 2nd hand came back to get 34 or something of 400+.

    Best I've seen was when this guy on the bubble with 19 chips of the stars 500 buyin 500k guaranteed about a month ago. He came back from that to get 7th in the entire tournament and pocket about $30k. That's pretty amazing as far as a single tourney miracle is concerned.

    This guy named GoDavidBrown came back from 27 chips with 35 or so left in the $10K guarantee last night and ended up finishing 6th for $450. It was funny no one wanted to take the guy on and he was the short stack.
