How Does Roux Do It??

After a preflop betting bonanza, Phillipe Roux was all in while Matt Bond and Prakash Patel were on the side when they went to a flop of 10♦4♦J♣. 

Patel immediately moved all in and Bond snap-called to put him at risk as well while the hands were tabled. 

Roux: K♣K♠
Patel: 8♠9♠
Bond: A♦A♥

Bond was in the lead with his aces, but Patel had plenty of outs with his straight draw. 

Sure enough, the turn came the Q♥ to give Patel the straight, but even more miraculous was the two-outer A♠ on the river to give Roux the nut straight with his kings. 

"HOW DO YOU DO IT!?" Tablemate William 'Lambo' Lamar-Boone shouted as he stood up on his one good leg while Roux was pushed the main pot. Patel was then pushed the main pot while Bond was left rolling his eyes as the short stack. 

Roux - 750,000
Patel - 810,000
Bond - 269,000
