My Best Comeback Ever!

I just played a Pokerstars $11 double up and lost a big pot to end up with 5 chips from my starting stack of 1500, the lowest ammount of chips you can have on the site (I think). Did I give up? Not at all. Blinds were 100/200 with a 25 ante. I was all in for these hands;

Ace seven suited, made a flush to put me upto 35 chips (yeah)
Five seven off vs king ten, spiked a 5 on the flop - 165 chips
Pair of fours - Hit a set then a house to win - 615 chips
King seven off - two other players in the hand, I missed the flop and thought they'd check it down, until a crazy bloke made a min bet to isolate me on the flop with 62 off! I won that hand and was chip leader with 1865 chips, then I cruised to a glorious victory. What a mad game!
