Tyler Smith: 5♣5♥
Gene Grieshaber: A♣Q♦

Action folded around to Dan Hummer in the small blind, who completed, and Kurt Jewell checked back in the big blind.
The flop of A♣5♦2♠ went check-check, as did the 4♦ turn. On the 8♥ river, Hummer led out for 7,000 and Jewell raised to 21,000.
Hummer thought for a brief moment before making the call and tabling J♥8♦ for a pair of eights. Jewell turned over 8♠4♣ for two pair, eights and fours to scoop the pot.

Level 12
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
The player in the cutoff raised to 8,500, the player on the button called, and Gene Grieshaber three-bet to 33,000 in the small blind. The cutoff got out of the way and the button pulled back his initial call and slid out a small stack of chips, while tabling pocket tens. The floor was called over and ruled it a call.
The flop came 2♠J♠A♣ and both players checked to the 2♥ turn where Grieshaber bet enough to put his opponent all in, who had 25,500 behind.
The button tossed his exposed pocket tens into the muck and the pot was pushed Grieshaber's way.

After a dominating showing last fall at the final table, Nicholas Rigby topped a field of 358 entries to win RGPS Grand Prix Southern Indiana $800 Main Event for $52,323.
Rigby held the chip lead to begin the final table, and he said his plan was "aggression out of the gates." He swept up plenty of pots uncontested, and he won a huge all-in showdown against second-place Charles Rexroat to take more than 60% of the chips to five-handed play. Rexroat shoved into Rigby's aces up with a pair of tens in the hole, leaving the other players seemingly fighting for second.
"It feels great," Rigby simply said afterward.
