Pilgrim Knows Why We Play Poker

Donnie Peters

Dwyte Pilgrim was all in preflop for 232,500 with two black aces against the {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} of Paul Villamizar. When the cards were turned over, Pilgrim jumped from his seat yelling, "That's why we play poker! That's why we play poker!"

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs} and Pilgrim doubled to just under 500,000. Villamizar was left with 240,000.

Bell Rung in Suck-resuck Action

Chris Bell raised from the cutoff seat and then Ravi Raghavan called from the button. The flop came down {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{8-Spades} and Bell checked. Raghavan bet 34,000 and then Bell check-raised all in for about 150,000. Raghavan made the call and the cards were on their backs.

Bell: {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}
Raghavan: {K-Spades}{K-Hearts}

The turn was a miracle for Bell was the {10-Spades} hit the felt and gave him a full house to keep him alive, but only for the time being as the river was the {K-Clubs}. In amazing suck-resuck fashion, that was it for Bell as Raghavan improved to about 500,000 chips.

Stein Follows Instructions

Dwyte Pilgrim's really enjoying his new chips. He raised under-the-gun to 21,000. It folded to Sam Stein in the big blind, and Pilgrim called over a reporter. "I just told this guy to reraise me," he said. Stein heard that and shipped in his stack. Pilgrim snap-mucked. Interesting angle.

Hinkle Hanging On

Blair Hinkle was down to his last 62,000. Action folded to him in the small blind, and he moved all in. Frank Traino called from the big blind, and it was off to the races.

Hinkle: {Q-Clubs} {10-Spades}
Traino: {8-Diamonds} {8-Hearts}

Board: {Q-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {5-Diamonds} {7-Spades}

Hinkle paired his queen on the flop and doubled to around 140k.

Cold Deck!

David Paredes is steamed as we head into the break. He opened the pot for 13,000, then called a re-raise from small blind Tom Sinistaj to 38,000. Sinistaj check-called 30,000 on the {A-Diamonds} {6-Diamonds} {J-Clubs} flop.

It was on the turn that all the chips went in. Sinistaj checked again, inducing a bet of 65,000 from Paredes. Sinistaj then check-raised all in for 242,500, with Paredes snap-calling.

Showdown:

Sinistaj: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}, top two pair
Paredes: {6-Hearts} {6-Clubs}, a set of sixes

Paredes was in great shape to take out Sinistaj -- until the river fell {Q-Diamonds} to give each player a full house, with Sinistaj having the bigger full house.

"Oh, come ON!" shouted Paredes, jumping out of his chair. "Get the **** out of here!"

Smith Runs into Aces

It was a disappointing end for Matt Smith. After Andrew Chen opened the pot from middle position for 21,000, Smith jammed all in with {6-Clubs} {6-Diamonds}. Chen beat him into the pot, tabling the pre-flop nuts, {A-Spades} {A-Clubs}. No help anywhere to be found for Smith on a board of {10-Spades} {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. He's out, and Chen is up to about 410,000.
