      Always feels great making a nice run when you are basically out with one blind. Congrats! I'm no professional and you probably know better then me but i probably would not have called with the K4 suited. As you said, people are mostly tighter there. Good thing it worked out in your favor!

      The only real misstep was the AQ, also the 33 you busted on you coulda waited for a better spot for your tournament life but not being critical & you played quite well.

    The greatest comeback in WSOP history belongs to Jack ‘Treetops’ Straus. On day 2 of the 1982 Main Event Straus shoved his entire stack, was called, and lost. But it wasn’t actually his entire stack. Unknown to Straus, he still had a $500 chip on the table which had been covered by a napkin. Since he had not announced ‘all-in’ when shoving his stack, he was able to continue playing. Straus took that 1 chip and went on to win the 1982 Main Event an coined the expression a chip and a chair.

      Yep. He never said all in. Therefor his holdback chip they found under the ring pad, was never in play. He bet. Opponent called. Nobody ever said all in or call. So the chip was never committed technically. He rallied back from 1 chip. There was the line born of “a chip and a chair”

    I love this because it reminds me of my 1st ever win in a low stakes tournament. I was doing well then lost a bad beat that left me with 1 BB. I was moved to another table at that time and these players were the big stacks. I slapped my 2 chips down as I sat and said "you guys are in trouble now." They chuckled a bit but I then proceeded to win the next 14 hands I played and the tournament.

    Jack "Treetop" Strauss in the 1982 Main Event had The GREATEST Comeback in WSOP History. He shoved all his chips into the middle but did not call "All In". Upon losing the hand he stood up and collected his stuff and found a single T$500 chip in his drinks napkin. He sits back down and eventually wins the tournament. It wasn't as big entry-wise as this run, but there were not many 'nits' playing in 1982.
    I did something similar to win my first tournament at Cabazon near Palm Springs. It was a daily $130 buy-in. I was down to one T$500 chip when the BB was T$500 and we combined the final two tables to make the final nine. We redrew position and I am in the BB. A win in that hand with four other people gave me the start of building my stack. An hour or so later I won the tourney.

    I agree that you have the best quality vlog it is like a movie. By having a camera crew at different angles makes you stand out from other vloggers, Everyone will have to step up their games. Ithe last hand with 33 I don't like going all in because it is just a flip but so dangerous. The amount the other player bet he is never folding your all in of course, but if those pocket 3s hold you would have looked like a genius and that how it is in poker. Keep up the high energy videos.

    I think it was a great run and you did great with it, congrats. One thing I wanted to add, as far as last hand. At this stage of the tournament, 4 X the raise preflop means JJs or something like AK, since the guy wanted everyone to fold. If he was bluffing or playing something weaker, he would raise 2 - 2.5X. Maybe he wanted to ladder up, etc. My point is you went all in thinking he would fold, however if he does not - you are either way behind or at best it's a coin flip. You are never ahead, so to me - 33s is a fold at this stage of the tourney. Congrats again - great come back.

    Where is the cameraman appreciation button?
    Standing for hours to the table and recording the action so we can enjoy the video?

    The biggest comeback was when Jack Straus was "temporarily" knocked out of the 10,0/00 dollar championship event.
    Jack stood up and one chip was found under a napkin and he wAs allowed to play it which was the wrong ruling.
    Jack won the event 🏆

    Did you hire a videographer to follow you for the whole 3 days?! That’s graft. Great content!
