Pilgrim Building a Massive Stack

Last time we checked in with Dwyte Pilgrim before the dinner break he was sitting on a relatively large stack of 21,000. Now, just forty-five minutes into level seven, Pilgrim is sitting atop our leader board with a stack of 39,000. Pilgrim is an aggressive player that should be feared when he has a lot of chips at hand, so we will continue to keep you up to date on the happenings at his table.

Back to the Action

Level 7 : 150/300, 25 ante

Players have returned from their dinner break and have two more levels of play until their next break. The official tally of players to survive through dinner is 1,053 and we're sure to have that whittled down to a much smaller number by the end of the night as cries of "Seat open!" are already being heard throughout the Brasilia room.

Level: 7

Blinds: 150/300

Ante: 25

Bonding Over Twenty

While walking past Lars Bonding's table we saw him throw out a three-bet on top of an opponent's raise to 400. His opponent four-bet all in and Bonding called, tabling {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}.

Bonding was racing with his opponent who showed {Q-Spades}{Q-Hearts}. Bonding jumped into the lead on the {2-Hearts}{A-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop and retained his lead through the {10-Hearts} turn and the {9-Spades} river.

Bonding is now sitting on a stack of roughly 21,000.

Cajelais Crushing

We found Erik Cajelais sitting on a massive stack in the Red section of the Brasilia room. Action folded to Cajelais in the small blind and he eyed up the big blind's stack before dropping a massive stack of chips into the middle. The big blind flung his hand away quickly and Cajelais added to his tower of chips.

Cajelais is currently sitting on about 27,000.
