Kurt Lichtman may be writing a nice comeback story. He began the day with 89,900 but dropped down to just 7,600 midway through the day. He has since moved his stack over 160,000 and is much more comfortable.

The big hand came against Richard Arno with Lichtman at risk for his last 71,000 in a race. Lichtman was ahead with 7d7c against AcKc when Arno said, “I never win these.”

“Oh, looks like I’m going to win this one.” he said after seeing the when the flop came KdKsTh to give him a big lead in the hand. The joy didn’t last long when dealer put the 7h on the turn. Lichtman dodged the bigger boat out for his double.
