After an open to 24,000 by Duc Nguyen, Joshua Lien moved all in for around 140,000 and the action folded back to Nguyen, who thought for only a few seconds before he slid out a stack to make the call. 

Lien didn't seem too keen as he flipped over K♣J♦ but was definitely surprised when he saw he was up against the 2♥2♣ of Nguyen. 

Crazily enough, the runout of Q♦8♠4♣6♣6♥ meant that Nguyen's deuces held to send Lien to the rail. 

The very next hand, Nguyen got it all in with queen-ten against Tamper Wheeler's ace-three. Wheeler was ahead with his ace-high, but the flop of queen-ten-three was not good for him as it gave Nguyen two pair. The turn ten only improved Nguyen to a full house and the blank river sent Wheeler to the rail as well. 

Nguyen - 585,000
