Pilgrim Saved by an Ace on the River

Level 20 : 6,000/12,000, 1,000 ante
Dwyte Pilgrim - never giving up.
Dwyte Pilgrim - never giving up.

Josh Bergman opened to 26,000 from the cutoff and immediately after him Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in for 196,000 on the button. Timothy Finne promptly re-shoved for about 300,000 from the small blind forcing Bergman to fold. The hands were tabled and Pilgrim was dominated.

Pilgrim: {a-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Finne: {a-Spades}{k-Clubs}

"I folded sevens," Bergman confessed.

It's a good thing Bergman folded because the flop came {4-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}{4-Clubs}, which was also a horrible flop for Pilgrim's ace-three. The multiple WSOP Circuit Ring champion's chances of winning the hand plummeted, but he gained five chop-outs. The {6-Clubs} on the turn was irrelevant, but when the {a-Diamonds} spiked on the river giving both players the same full house Pilgrim's eyes lit up and he looked straight into the onlooking cameras.

"I never give up!" he said with a smile.

For their efforts, Pilgrim and Finne chopped the big blind, the antes and Bergman's opening raise.
