Three-handed on a flop of 4♥2♣Q♣, Scott Grasse moved all in for 25,000 from under the gun, Weston Wells put in his last 50,000 from the small blind, and Nick Thomas put both opponents at risk on the button.
Scott Grasse: J♣10♣ 
Weston Wells: 5♣3♣
Nick Thomas: 2♦2♥
Thomas was ahead with his set of deuces, while Grasse had a flush draw and Wells showed straight and flush draws. The 8♣ turn gave both Grasse and Wells their flush, and the 9♦ fell on the river. Grasse tripled up with his jack-high flush, while Wells took the big side pot off Thomas.

Arlie Brandvold, the current RPT season-long points leader, had just entered the tournament when he got in his starting stack of 30,000 from early position and was up against Kelly Snapp in the cutoff.
Arlie Brandvold: A♣K♥
Kelly Snapp: A♦Q♦
Brandvold had Snapp dominated as the flop came K♣7♦8♦, giving Brandvold top pair but Snapp a flush draw. The 6♠ turn was safe for Brandvold, while the A♠ river improved him to two pair and earned him a quick double up.
"Now you have 60. Where did you learn that trick?" a tablemate asked him.
"I went to stack-building school," Brandvold replied.
