Levesque Couldn't Be More Wrong

Dwyte Pilgrim has been a monster on the North American circuit for most of the last year and a half. Eric Levesque would have been well served to take notice of that before playing what would turn into Levesque's final hand of the tournament.

Levesque opened the betting on a flop of {K-Spades} {10-Spades} {4-Diamonds} for 4,000. Pilgrim raised to 8,300, not nearly enough to slow down Levesque. Levesque put in a three-bet. Pilgrim stared him down briefly, then one by one dropped matching chips into the pot to call.

The turn fell {6-Diamonds}. "I don't think it's a good card for you," said Levesque. "Am I right?" He took a swig from his bottle of beer while awaiting a reply. Pilgrim offered none.

Finally, Levesque slammed 45,000 into the pot. Pilgrim quickly announced he was all in and Levesque just as quickly called.

Pilgrim: {10-Diamonds} {10-Hearts}, a set of tens
Levesque: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}, top pair

Levesque was drawing dead. After the {9-Clubs} river, the stacks were counted down and Levesque was busto.

Pilgrim is up to about 240,000.
