Pillon In a Tricky Spot
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Jodie Dunfield opened in early position to 12,000 before James Pillon called on the button and the action was on Kevin Bergeron in the small blind.

He thought it over for about two minutes before sticking in the call.
The cards hit their backs with Bergeron all in and at risk.
Kevin Bergeron: 6♥6♦ 
James Pillon: A♣9♣
The full board ran out 7♥9♠5♣K♠2♣ and with a pair of nines Pillon sent Bergeron to the rail before the money.

Hinnegan Get the Big Blind Special
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The action folded to Leo Gulliver on the button who limped before Xin Qi limped in the small blind and then Bradley Hinnegan checked his option in the big blind.
The 9♠8♣7♣ flop landed and the action quickly checked through to a 6♠ turn. Qi then led from the small blind for 4,000 and both players called.
The Q♦ hit the river and the action quickly checked through. Qi tabled 8x6x for two pair but Hinnegan had him pipped with 9x6x for a better two pair and the button mucked. Hinnegan dragged the pot and continues to chip up.

The Solver Loves the Jam
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The action was opened in the cutoff to 6,500 by Colin Mchugh before the action folded all the way to Gregory Taylor in the small blind who took a moment and then moved all in for his last 64,000. Mchugh went into the tank and eventually flicked in a call.
The cards hit their backs with Mchugh all in and at risk.
Gregory Taylor: A♦5♦
Colin Mchugh: A♣J♦
Taylor was holding the hand that all the kids and the solver love but he would still need some help. He got that help on the 4♠5♣2♠ flop in the form of top pair. The 9♦ turn and K♦ river did not improve Mchugh and he would double up Taylor.
