Pilgrim Loses One, But All Smiles

On the turn, the board read {J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts} between Dwyte Pilgrim and one other player. Pilgrim fired 800 and his opponent called.

The river was the {5-Hearts} and Pilgrim fired 1,500. His opponent didn't look to happy about Pilgrim firing out the bet, but made the call anyway. Pilgrim tabled {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and then his opponent tabled {K-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for the winning hand.

Pilgrim dropped to 31,000 chips, but still has a big smile on his face. Maybe that's because he's kicked off 2010 on a heater at the tables. In January, Pilgrim won a $500 event and a $300 event at the Souther Poker Championship good for $52,040 and $28,733, respectively. He also took second for nearly $45,000 in a $1,000 event at the same series.

So far in February, Pilgrim has scored a sixth-place finish at the WSOP Circuit event in Tunica for just under $27,000 and then he won the Mega Stack Challenge XV at Foxwoods for over $50,000. After his win on the East Coast, Pilgrim made his way to Vegas where he has already final tabled one of the preliminary events here at the Venetian.
