Pilgrim Doubles Back

Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

We walked up the the table to see the dealer dropping the turn card down on a board of {9-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {6-Clubs} {9-Clubs}. The first player to act led out with a bet of 7,500, and Dwyte Pilgrim raised to 21,000. The bettor promptly three-bet all in, but Pilgrim didn't hear the announcement. He sat still for a few long minutes before everyone realized that Pilgrim was unaware the action was on him. When they nudged him, he apologized profusely, said, "I guess you got me then," and called all in for his last 40,400 total.

The unknown opponent showed up {A-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} for top pair, but Pilgrim's {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} had nearly locked up the pot and the double up with a flush. The river {2-Clubs} was a blank, and Pilgrim is right back to 95,000.

Haber Makes a Big Call

With about 70,000 in the pot and a board reading {9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts}, Eric "Sheets" Haber checked over to Lars Bonding, who bet 32,000. Haber only had about 65,000 left and counted down his stack. He seemed reluctant but made the call.

"Good call," Bonding said as he revealed {7-Clubs}{10-Spades} for a complete bluff. Haber showed {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and took down the large pot. He is now up to 165,000 while Bonding dropped to 77,000.

Basebaldy Knocks One Out

A player in early position opened to 7,000 before a shorty moved all in for 44,800 a couple seats over. Next to him, Eric "Basebaldy" Baldwin took a couple moments to consider before reraising all in to put the decision back on the early-position player.

"You have, like, heaps, don't you?" he asked.

Baldwin chuckled and eyeballed his stack. "I have about 190."

With that, the other player folded, and the short stack was heads up and racing for his tournament life:

Shorty: {Q-Clubs} {Q-Spades}
Baldwin: {A-Spades} {K-Hearts}

Baldwin wished his opponent luck, but the dealer was having none of it. The {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs} {7-Spades} flop put the all-in player in a big hole, and the turn {K-Diamonds} left him drawing dead. The river {9-Diamonds} was the last card he'll see today, and that knockout put moves Baldwin up over 240,000.

Liebert Hits the Rail

Kathy Liebert
Kathy Liebert

Action folded to Kathy Liebert in middle position and she moved all in for her last 27,000. The cutoff made the call and everyone else got out of the way.

"I have the best hand I've had in awhile," Liebert said as she showed {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. "Quite a while." The cutoff flipped {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts} and Liebert needed to improve. Unfortunately for her, the board ran out {2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{5-Hearts} and she was sent to the rail.
