Feature This

We join another pot at the featured table as chips seem to be flying around the felt over there. Action is between Billy Gazes and Dwyte Pilgrim, and on the turn, the board shows {5-Clubs} {6-Spades} {7-Hearts} {4-Clubs} with just about 10,000 already in the pot.

Action is on Gazes, and he checks. Pilgrim bets out 7,000, and Gazes elects to put in a check-raise, making it a total of 17,000 to play. This sends Pilgrim deep into the tank as he double-checks his cards and eyeballs his own chip stack.

"I'm sure I got you right now, bro," he says after a minute. After another minute more he adds, "But not enough to make a move," sliding his cards into the muck.

Gazes taps the felt with his cards and nods at his opponent. "That was a very good card for me," he says quietly. As the dealer pushes him the pot, Gazes opens up his hand, revealing {K-Clubs} {8-Clubs}, having the board crushed.

After taking down that pot, Gazes has worked his way up to about 65,000, nearly double what he had when he arrived at the featured table.
