Event 16 (Flight 1G): Docarmo Runs Out Pure

Event 16 ($150 No Limit Hold'em Re-Entry)
$100,000 Guaranteed Prize Pool
Level 12 (Blinds 800/1,600/200)
Total Flight 1G Entries: 183
Flight 1G Players Remaining: 83

Claudio Docarmo (Deerfield Beach, FL) just vaulted up the leaderboard moments ago, as he eliminated three players from the field in one hand.  After an open-shove for 12,200, Claudio made the call from middle position, and watched as two other short stacks shoved behind.  The two players to shove had stack of 20,100 and 19,700 respective, and Claudio was never folding for another 9,900, getting over six-to-one on a call.  Docarmo tossed the chips in for a call, the dealer figured out the two side pots, and the cards were tabled:

Docarmo: A 8
Player X: K K♣
Player Y: Q♠ Q
Player Z: K Q♣

Docarmo was calling for an ace on the flop, but he'd actually gain some extra outs on the flop of 5♣ 6 7.  The  J♣ on the turn would miss Docarmo, but the 4 on the river would give Claudio the winning straight.  Docarmo couldn't do anything but laugh as the players collected their things and exited the tournament area.  He is now over 125,000, and is one of the chip leaders in the field.
