Phi Nguyen, With the Double KO

It was a classic three-way preflop all-in situation -- one player with {K-Spades} {K-Diamonds}, another with {J-Spades} {J-Diamonds} and Phi Nguyen sandwiched in the middle with {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}. Nguyen flopped huge when it came down {Q-Hearts} {7-Diamonds} {5-Spades}, and he made a full house on the turn when the {5-Diamonds} fell. The river was the {9-Clubs} and Nguyen eliminated both of his opponents, increasing his stack to 123,000.
