Pilgrim Gets Paid Off

Over on table 278, the action folded around to Jeffrey Sluzinki who raised to 600 from the button before both the small blind and Dwyte Pilgrim called from the big blind to go three-handed to a flop that read {8-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{4-Hearts}.

The action was checked around both after the flop and turn of the {10-Clubs}, but on the river of the {8-Spades}, the small blind checked to Pilgrim, who led out for 1,500. Sluzinki thought about it for a while, but folded his hand and the small blind called before Pilgrim showed {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds} for trips to take it down.

"I almost called to get some PokerNews coverage!" Sluzinki said. No worries, we've got your name in the blog now!

And speaking of names in the blog, we've also come across our first player in the Blue section to have made a century. It's Douglas Smith, who's already picked up three cashes this year at the WSOP (his biggest being $33,285 after coming in 15th in Event #18). He's now on table 276 with more than 103,000 in chips!
