Elia Ahmadian has experienced the full spectrum of emotions during a long day on the felt here today, but all the while he never stopped smiling.

Ahmadian filled us in on the details of an epic comeback recently, after he stormed back from 9,000 to 67,000 in a the span of a few hands.

He chipped up to 13,000 by grinding for blinds and antes, before a player told him "I'm calling you the next time you move all in." When Ahmadian woke up with {10-}{10-} in the hole he did just that, "jammin'" over the top of an open and getting his mark to call off with {a-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The board ran out clean and Ahmadian notched the much-needed double to get back on track.

Soon afterward Ahamdian found another double when he flopped top two holding {a-}{j-} on the {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{2-Spades}. Men Nguyen paid him off when he turned multiple draws with his {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}, but the river bricked off to bring Ahmadian back from the brink.
