What's the lowest amount of chips you've had and managed to comeback?

Tonight I went down to 250 chips, the 2 other remaining players had 5880 and 8770 and blinds were 200/400. I managed to slowly get back in to it and after a long heads up I managed to win.

In an EPT multi-table satellite (1 out of 10 paid) at Stars a couple of months ago, I managed to donk my way down to 40 chips during the first level, then roared back to win a seat:

Maybe my most satisfying win - very fortunate, but very satisfying.

In a 10 player tournament once, I was 4th and lost an almost all-in down to 80 chips, 1st had about 6k, 2nd and 3rd had about 2k each. I went all-in on my next few hands and won them all, then went on to win the tournament with 10,000 chips, great accomplishment.

Last freeroll I was down to 355 when the blinds were at 200. In about 5 hands I was up over 16,000 and 7th out of about 60 remaining.

But, my hands ran in streaks. Poor before, hot for a brief time, then mediocre which cost me money and I went out about 23rd.

I had a cool comeback in a sit n go once, but dont remember how bad it was (below 100).

One i do remember:

had 340, bb was 400.
4 players left. One was sitting out and the BB would have reached him and taken him out next hand, and id have reached money.

Im 1st after BB. Im thinking ill wait for next round and finish 3rd. And i get pocket kings! After deciding id rather take a shot at winning, i call.

One guy calls me stupid and calls me with AK! And flops an ace! I hit last K on turn, and end up getting to final 2. But lost heads up :(

think my best was at a home tourney we had...just into final table (10 people), and I stack off to most of my chips leaving me just over enough to cover the BB. Fold, fold, fold, etc, until BB then manage to double up. Then doubled up again two or three hands later, from the CO (if memory serves). From there I had chips to work with...didn't win, but came back to take 2nd.
