I Sverre He Can Make a Comeback

One player dragging his knuckles along the floor during the break was Norwegian star Sverre Sundbo. His brooding was the result of a blind-on-blind confrontation. "I called a seven-high flop with K-Q, and hit a king on the turn. He bet, I pushed and he called with K-J, jack on the river."

"Are you short short or just short?" I asked.

"Er... short," he replied. "I have 6,500."

"You've been a lot shorter before and come back," I continued. "Remember Amsterdam?"

"Yeah, it happened in the WSOP Main Event. Dortmund too, where I was down to just a 150, but finished the day third in chips."
