Hanson got some of his chips back when he took down consecutive pots on the flop.
Kenny Tran won four pots in the last ten hands including picking up a ground skinner (a.k.a. a walk in the big blind) on Hand #15.
The end of the Hold'em level featured passive play with the player in the big blind getting a walk on three different instances.
