When Lita Hsu (pictured) was knocked down to half of a big blind (3,000 in chips), most assumed he’d be eliminated within a few hands. But it hasn’t worked out that way.

Hsu got it all in on his next hand with Heart KClub J against another the big blind’s Heart 7Club 3, and the board came Diamond KClub KHeart QDiamond 3Spade J to give him a full house and more than quintuple his stack to 16,000.

Hsu doubled up a couple minutes later (we missed that one), to reach about 35,000.

Then, in the final minutes, Hsu got it all in preflop with Spade KClub Q against another player’s Heart AHeart 4. The board came Spade QDiamond 10Club 8Spade ADiamond K — Hsu paired his queen on the flop, his opponent turned a pair of aces to take the lead, and then Hsu rivered a king to win the pot with two pair and double up yet again.

Hsu finished the day with 65,000 in chips, and if he can find his way to the final table tomorrow, it’ll be one of the most impressive comebacks we’ve seen in a while.
