Biggest Win/Biggest Loss Stories?

[randy]

I'm interested in interesting stories about people's biggest wins and biggest losses while gambling. Like everyone else, I'm a fan of the underdog, so stories about winning at gambling are probably more interesting.

My biggest win was in a Party Poker $200 buy-in multi table tournament where I took 5th place out of 800 or so players. I won $6000. The funny thing is that I was playing in the tournament by mistake; I'd signed up for a $10 SnG and the prize was entry into the big tourney. I thought it was just a regular SnG, and I was still learning to play at the time.

I played supertight and got lucky with pocket 33's 3 times.

Last year i entered in a 20+2 dollar buy in tourney on party poker with over 1300 people entered in it. I got extremely lucky and finished 6th to win 1088 dollars. Definitely my best achievement in poker to this date. I cant remember too much about it since it was a year ago, however i do remember busting AA with JJ

Knocked out of the final table of a decent hold'em tournament two weeks ago with a flopped flush. Guy caught runner -runner full boat. OUCH!

I'm a former casino worker- I was working the night the Hawaiin fellow at the Cal in Vegas rolled the dice for 3 hours and 6 minutes. The table lost $750,000 on that roll (should have lost a lot more).

The biggest score I ever saw relative to the buy-in was $4600 off of a $20 buy-in.
