Byrum on Fire

Jeremy Byrum sittin' pretty

On a flop of {10-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {3-Spades}, action checked over to Blake Purvis and he bet 600. Only Jeremy Byrum called.

The turn brought the {3-Hearts} and Byrum checked. Purvis bet 1,200 and Byrum called.

The river fell the {7-Diamonds} and Byrum asked how much Purvis had left. "About 10,500." replied Purvis.

With the pot sitting at exactly 4,200, Byrum fired 5,500. This bet seemed to confuse Purvis as he studied Byrum and the hand. Finally, he made the call.

Byrum quickly turned over pocket tens, {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}, for the nut full house and scooped the pot. Purvis flashed only the {10-Hearts}.

Earlier in the day, Byrum made quads with {Q-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} against T.K. Miles and one other player for a sizable pot.

He's currently sitting with slightly over 60,000 chips.

Pilgrim Drops Way Down

On a board of {Q-Clubs} {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and the pot sitting with a few thousand chips in it, Dwyte Pilgrim called a 2,400-chip bet from his opponent in position.

The river then came the {A-Diamonds} and after a minute of thought, Pilgrim's opponent fired 5,025. Pilgrim adjusted himself in his chair and then said, "I have to call." His opponent showed him {A-Hearts} {J-Clubs} for a Broadway straight. Pilgrim revealed a losing {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} and it down to 6,000 chips.

Wilbur Futhey
Wilbur Futhey
Wilbur Futhey bet out on the flop of {10-Diamonds} {6-Hearts} {5-Clubs} and was called by one player. The turn brought the {4-Spades} and Futhey again fired, this time for 650. His opponent called.

The river fell the {J-Diamonds} and Futhey fired 1,000. His opponent announced a raise rather quickly and made it 4,000. Futhey took a few moments, but then made the call.

Futhey's opponent immediately pushed his hand towards the muck, which prompted Futhey to ask for the hand to be revealed. His opponent's hand was the {9-Spades} {8-Clubs} for nine high. Futhey turned over {10-Clubs} {7-Spades} for a pair of tens and a filthy river call.

Pilgrim Back on the Upswing

Opening the action from the button, Dwyte Pilgrim put in an oversized raise to 500, getting action from the small blind. Heads up, the flop came {6-Clubs} {6-Spades} {4-Spades}. The small blind led out with a big bet of 1,000, and Pilgrim wasted little time calling.

Fourth street came the {A-Diamonds}. The small blind slowed down now, checking the action over to Pilgrim. The gregarious pro put out another 1,000 chips, sending his opponent into the tank. After a full two minutes, he conceded the pot to Pilgrim. With a big grin, the winner quickly flashed his {A-?} {K-?} and began stacking the pot.
