We've just been talking to Frenchman Thomas Fougeron outside on the balcony. Amazingly his comeback from 2 big blinds on day 1b to being within earshot of the final table is not his biggest comeback. "In France, I came back from one ante to win a winner takes all single table tournament, we were down to 4 players and I offered them a deal at the time".
Thomas is very optimistic today and says that any result from this point on is good "when I got back to 9000 from 600, the average stack for 20000, for most people this would be bad, but I felt very good, very confident".
I suggested to Thomas that maybe he should aim to start every tournament from so far behind in the future.
