Chip and a Chair, Literally

Level 19 : 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante

We've all heard the expression, but Matt Kozole literally had just one chip and a chair ... and it was the smallest denomination chip currently in play: 500.

Then he went on a swing of double ups. His latest saw him push all in and get a call. He gleefully yelled out "kings!" as he turned over {k-Spades}{k-Hearts} and the whole table uttered "wow" in disbelief of his ability to hang on. He had to hold against the {a-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} of Randal Flowers.

The board ran out clean for Kozole: {8-Spades}{5-Spades}{j-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}.

As he stacked up the small pot, he had 35,000 chips to his name.

Unfortunately, the short-stack miracle wasn't able to continue. Kozole has since lost all of his chips for the last time.
