Action folded around to Dwyte Pilgrim in late position and he pushed out a bet of 5,300. It folded around to the small blind who thought for about a minute before moving a large stack of chips into the middle, making it 19,000 to go. It folded back to Pilrgrim who sat thinking for about thirty seconds.
"Alright, you got it," Pilrgrim said as he tossed face up into the muck.
"It was a good fold," remarked his opponent.
With this small hit Pilgrim is now down to about 72,000 in chips.
