Event 19: Thomas Calvo Salivating

$300 + $50 No Limit Hold'em

Thomas Calvo - 440,000

Talk about a run. How about three, count em, three key double-ups. Thomas Calvo (Staten Island, NY) was down to 80,000 then he struck gold thrice.

First he scores a full-house against two pair.
Then he has the higher end of a straight against Opponent's lower end.
Then he wakes up to three sevens.

Calvo takes care of his kids, ages 5 and 2, when he's not on the felt.
