Brikis Bounced; Pilgrim Pushes Upward

Level 10 : 400/800, 100 ante
Josh Brikis - out
Josh Brikis - out

Under the gun, Josh Brikis opened with a raise, and he was called by John Daney and Dwyte Pilgrim, both with position.

Three-handed, the flop came down {6-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {8-Clubs}, and Brikis continued out with a bet of 3,700. Daney made the call, and Pilgrim flicked an oversized chip into the pot as well, off to fourth street.

It was the {2-Clubs}, and it brought all the action. Brikis wasn't letting up, and he fired another 12,200 at the pot. Next to go, Daney made the the call with trembling hands for about half his remaining stack. Pilgrim took his pause for just a moment before throwing out a handful of orange and red chips, enough to cover both opponents. Brikis quickly called all in for another ~17,000, and Daney called off his final ~11,800 to put himself at risk as well. Pilgrim had a chance for the double knockout as the cards were on their backs:

Brikis: {5-Clubs} {7-Clubs}
Daney: {K-Diamonds} {K-Spades}
Pilgrim: {6-Spades} {6-Clubs}

Daney was drawing dead to two outs, but Brikis was quite live with his open-ender and flush draw.

River: {7-Spades}

Brikis and Daney quickly left the table without a word, and a smirking Pilgrim began stacking the biggest pot we've seen today. Mark him down for about 155,000 now, and the field better take notice.
