Sam Sayed thought he had been busted out of today's event and left the poker room to lick his wounds. However apparently after a big all in clash, he still had around 1,000 chips left. We believe he received a phone call from a friend to let him know he was still alive, and he returned to find his stack was blinded down to around 500 chips.

Remarkably Sayed then pushed hard with his short stack, managing to double up several times and now has around 4,500 in chips!
