Pilgrim Has It

An unknown player raised the pot from the cutoff seat, and Dwyte Pilgrim re-potted from small blind. They actually let him raise a quarter extra after some confusion, and it was 1,725 total back to the initial raiser. He called.

The flop came out {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} {6-Hearts}, and both players checked. The {4-Hearts} on the turn drew a delayed continuation bet of 3,500 from Pilgrim, and his opponent stared him down before calling.

The last card off was the {10-Hearts}, and Pilgrim fired another 4,600 at the pot. His opponent sighed and called, and Pilgrim turned over {A-Clubs} {A-Spades}. Aces up was good enough to win that pot with a, "Wow," and move Pilgrim up to about 42,000.
