Event 16: Comeback Kid

$350 + $50 No Limit Hold'em (Re-Entry)

In the first few hand heads-up, Sameer Batra loses almost all of his chips to Mike Hahn.  Sameer's 7-7 fell to Mike's A-K who hit two pair a board of 6-A-4-K-5.

Mike started the hand with 1.14 million and doubled-up.  Keep in mind there are only 2,355,000 million chips in play leaving Sameer with under 50,000 chips.

"I'm gonna make Borgatapokerblog history" said Sameer who only had 2 big blinds.

First Sameer shoved with 8-3 up against Mike's 2-3.  8 high held.
Next  his A-J held against Mike's 9-10 suited.
Then for his third double-up, Sameer jammed with 3-3 and was called pre by Mike's K-8.

Sameer's friend Garin called for a 3, and there it was on the flop.

Board ran: A-3-7-J-K

And now during this last break, Sameer is actually up by 50,000.  It's not over yet, but I can't believe the comeback Sameer Batra has mounted.  Chip and a chair lives on!

"I never gave up...I never thought it was over" said Sameer to Garin.

This one is for the ages!
