turning $4.20 into $663.00

I went into a $2 rush turbo rebuys Pot Limit Holdem Tournament on Friday Night.
I was supposed to pick up my parent from the airport at 11:15pm and I check the airport website and found out the flight was delayed until 2:00am so I had a few hours to kill.
I figured the tournament should be over in time and if not, it was only a couple bucks.
Things got off to a good start and by 11:45 I was up to 14,000 chips doing very well, when the phone rang.
It was my parents and they were at the airport wondering where I was.  Turns out I had the flight number wrong and they were on time, and I was late.  I has A 2 3 K in front of me and someone had raised and had a couple callers so I went ahead and pot raised figuring I had nothing to lose. One guys called, three lows came on board and I went all in and he folded I I walked out of the tournament with about 20,000 chips and figured in the 40 minutes I would be away there was no way I would make it back before the blinds got me since they were going up every three minutes and it was a rush tournament.
When I got home I walked over the the computer and there I was blinds at 5000/10,000 and I was all in from the fig blind with about 7500 chips.  one guys called and the sb folded and we split the pot giving me 10,000 chips.  I looked around the table and everyone else had abut 200,000-300,000.  I checked the standings and I was in 23rd of 23 and was already in the money for about $22.  I am not sure what my next next couple hands were because this all went so fast, but I it folded to me and I went all in which was a couple chips more the the bb and only the bb called and I doubled up, then the next hand I think I had 1 3 4 6 so I went all in again, three people called and I ended up scooping the pot and was at 80,000.  I was still only in19th of 21 with 8xs the bb but I hand some life.  I ended up making the final table and finished in 2nd place overall for a prize of $663.00.  Not bad for a $4.20 investment and missing a big chunk of the tournament.l  Just shows you that sometimes luck does fall your way.
I am currently at about $1550.
