Let’s not forget the great run of Michael Thompson. At 3 players left, he had only 1 BB left against the 13.5 BB and 10 BB of the two other players Yuri Dzivielevski and Denis Strebkov. He triples up before moving up chip leader and knocking out Denis. Unfortunately for him, Yuri calmly managed to break the run of Michael.
