Warning, this is a super long post, with a lot of P* Hand Histories.
I have 75 chips because I just lost a coin flip a few hands before for nearly all of my chips.

Wow. A nice river again. Well, 1400 is a step in the right direction, but still short stacked in a turbo tournament like this. I have a lot of work to do still, I'll never come back.

When I saw the 2 I was flipping out. I didn't even realize I had made a flush. Whoops. 13565 in chips.
9-handed, picked up KK, only got the blinds. Two people go out, so we're ITM with 7 people left. Not bad from 75 chips, and I still have some to work with. Expecting to lose soon, will be happy to get the money back. Then one more goes out, down to 6.

Ok, so..is it just me, or did I just hit a 1-outer on the turn? I thought maybe I was the only one to see it. All of a sudden, down to 4 people.
1 more goes out, 3-handed.
I hit a straight, me and one other guy are at like 28k, other is about half of that. I ask if anyone wants to chop, the other CL declines.

Heads up, I offer to look at a chop again, he says ok, I go to e-mail support and he changes his mind because he doesn't want to wait. I have about 1.5 to 1 chip lead, but I've been actually fairly passive and I think he sees that. I step it up in HU though, build a 2 to 1 CL, and..

Ok, so, I lose. But, it was the craziest tournament I have ever played in my life, and the biggest comeback I have ever made for so much money.
