Whenever several players simultaneously scream aloud, chances are the rare two-out suckout has just been sighted.

Sure enough, after hearing one player shout out "oh my God!" while his tablemates buzzed excitedly around the scene, we headed over to find a 5 percent miracle had been delivered.

The final board read {a-Hearts}{a-Spades}{q-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Dom Carlo has what appeared to be the winner tabled with his {a-}{10-}. Despite flopping trip aces though, Carlo's hand was second-best, what with Dom Gaccino holding the {2-Clubs}{2-Hearts}.

According to Gaccino, his appropriately named opponent had shoved his last 100,000 or so into the middle before the flop, coming over the top of Gaccino's open to 60,000.

Gaccino called to bring on the race, but he stumbled out of the gates when Carlo flopped trip aces. Carlo's lead was lengthened when the turn came down {6-Spades}, but he tripped over the last hurdle on the track when the river fell {2-Spades}.

With the win, Gaccino extended his chip lead to a staggering 1.35 million, which is good for more than three times the current average at the moment.
