Roberto Martinez grabbed a much-needed victory at Victoria Park as his Wigan side progressed thanks to an early own goal from Pools centre-half Sam Collins and second half strikes from Jordi Gomez and Victor Moses.
West Brom also avoided an early exit thanks to goals in either half from Pablo Ibanez and Chris Wood against Leyton Orient at the Matchroom Stadium.
Brentford reached the third round for the first time since 1991 with a shock 2-1 win over Hull City at Griffin Park. The game looked destined for extra time after Robbie Simpson had cancelled out Mark Cullen's opener but Marcus Bean snatched a dramatic late victory for the Bees.
Elsewhere, Brian Laws' Burnley fought back well from a goal down to overcome Morecambe 3-1 at the Globe Arena.
Phil Jevons put the Shrimps in front on 12 minutes before Chris Eagles levelled matters and second half goals from Steven Thompson and Kevin McDonald sealed the win.

However Keith Treacy grabbed the decisive goal in added time to send Darren Ferguson's men through.
Ipswich were also taken into extra time after playing out a 0-0 draw at Crewe. David Norris' strike 11 minutes into added time put the Tractor Boys through.

West Ham left it late before putting plucky Oxford to the sword, with a last-minute effort from Scott Parker edging them through.
Cardiff opted to rest Craig Bellamy for their trip to Peterborough and paid the price as Craig Mackail-Smith and a dramatic winner from George Boyd saw the Posh keep the lower league flag flying with a come-from-behind 2-1 win.
Scun.thorpe marched into the next round with consummate ease, as Michael Collins, Michael O'Connor and two goals from Chris Dagnall shot down 10-man Sheffield Wednesday 4-2 at Glanford Park.

Championship Watford saw their hopes ended at the second round stage, as a fantastic free-kick from Ben Davies and a first of the season from Kevin Smith saw Notts County to a 2-1 victory.
