Guillen Gets it All
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Stephane Edme opened in middle position to 11,000 before Samuel Guillen cold-called on the button. It then folded to Senthuran Vijayaratnam in the big blind who put in a three-bet to 55,000. Edme flat called and then Guillen came from the top rope with a back jam for 165,000.
It was then on Vijayaratnam who went into the tank for a moment before rejamming. Edme got out of the way and the cards hit their backs.
Samuel Guillen: J♥J♠ 
Senthuran Vijayaratnam: Q♦J♦
It wasn't event a flip headed to the 9♣A♥6♠2♣2♦ board and Gullien would get more than a pure double.

Potis Gets the River Value
Level 13
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
The action was opened in early position to 7,000 by Anthony Potis before it folded to the cutoff who called and the remaining players folded.
The K♦Q♥Q♠ flop landed and the action quickly checked through to a 9♦ turn. Potis put his foot back on the gas and put out a wager of 6,000. The cutoff called.
The 10♣ river landed and Potis snap-checked it over to the cutoff who sat in the tank for a moment before betting 12,000. Potis went into the tank and after a moment he reached and grabbed some raising chips before throwing out 38,000. The cutoff snap-called and got the bad news.
Potis tabled A♠J♠ for the nut straight and the cutoff flashed jack-ten before his cards hit the muck. Potis dragged a healthy pot and is now sitting a bit above the average.
