We found James Wilson on the button facing a bet of 5,300 from the cutoff on a completed community of {2-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{9-Spades}{a-Spades}{j-Hearts}. Wilson thought for a bit and tossed in a call, and the cutoff immediately mucked her hand. Wilson flipped over {a-Diamonds}{j-Clubs} for top two and scooped the pot.

Wilson, a Minnesota native, had some good success in the last months of 2014 on the Mid-States Poker Tour. First, he cashed for $2,547 at MSPT Meskwaki in November, and he followed that up with a deep run in the final event of the year, MSPT Canterbury. There, he finished runner-up to fellow Minnesotan Peixin Liu, scoring $61,473 in the process.
