"Comeback of the Century" Ends Early
Poker vlogger Justin "Miles" Barnum had just 250,000 chips to his name as the big blind approached, meaning he was forced all in blind, unable to pay the full big blind ante. Harjas Wadhwa shoved from the hijack, and it was just the two who went to a runout.
Justin "Miles" Barnum: K♥8♥ 
Harjas Wadhwa: 7♥7♦
Barnum peeled his first card, optimistically announcing, "overcard!" His wish was rewarded as he saw a king. It got even better as his second card gave him two suited overs. He took the lead on the 8♠3♥5♠ flop and ended up improving to a flush on the 10♥9♥ runout. "Comeback of the century!" he said to his phone as he attempted to begin the spin-up.
Unfortunately, he busted just a few hands later, as his A♥8♥ hit trip eights, but lost out to Sanjeev Kapoor's Jx10x on a Qx9x4x8x8x board.
