[Removed:413] could only shake his hand after tangling with Dwyte Pilgrim. Pautrot opened for 25,000 pre-flop and was called only by Pilgrim from the big blind. Both players checked an ace-high, all-Broadway flop, {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{k-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

.

On the turn {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

, Pautrot bet 40,000 after Pilgrim checked. Pilgrim tossed in matching chips, asking Pautrot, "You have a king? Ten?"

The river was a seeming blank, the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

. Pilgrim checked again, inducing a bet of 75,000 from Pautrot. Pilgrim snap-called with {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

, three aces. His kicker played over Pautrot's {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{5-Hearts}

.

Pilgrim is back up to about 525,000 in chips. Pautrot is now a short stack with just 130,000.
