Moments later, Nishijima was subjected to a second right hook as he doubled Justin Conley up to a million in chips. Nishijima opened the action with a raise to 57,000 from early position, Shaun Malough made the call on the button, and Conley announced all-in from the blind.

The flop made little difference, but the turn did, and by the river it was all over.
"Yes!" exclaimed Croffut as he leapt into the air.
