A Growing Threat With a Growing Chip Stack

After a series of bets between Dwyte Pilgrim and Bret Hruby preflop the dealer put out {4-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Pilgrim then check called a bet of 4,100 from Hruby. On the {3-Hearts} turn we had a repeat of action with Pilgrim checking and Hruby putting out a bet of 8,900 and Pilgrim smooth calling.

The {6-Diamonds} river brought checks from both players. Cards were then flipped, Hruby showed {J-}{j-} for a pair of jacks. Pilgrim countered the pair of jacks by showing the table {K-Diamonds}{k-Spades} for a pair of kings and the winning hand. Pilgrim's growing chip stack has made him one of the big stacks in the room with around 200,000.
