Dwight Pilgrim Not Ready to Die

Eliminations are coming fast and furious as the night progresses and blinds continue to increase. Dwight Pilgrim wasn't quite in the danger zone yet, but was looking to stay clear of it.

Pilgrim was in late position when he raised to 675 and was called by both blinds, including Vitaqly Lunkin in the big blind.The flop came {6-Spades}{6d{j-Spades} and Pilgrim opted to fire 2,000 into the pot. The small blind raised to 4,000, which prompted Lunking to fold. Pilgrim on the other hand, shoved all in for 9,000 total and was called by the small blind.

Pilgrim: {a-Spades}{j-Hearts}
Opponent: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

Pilgrim was ahead and stayed that way when the {a-Diamonds} on the turn gave him two pair, and the {2-Diamonds} on the river sealed the deal.
