Cutler flopped a set, Shortland flopped the nut flush, Wu's slowplayed kings were left drawing very thin, and Cutler needed a board pair to keep his tournament hopes alive.

The turn didn't change anything, but the river changed everything. Cutler made quads to more than triple up and get back to a healthy stack.
