Pilgrim Moving Back Up

Dwyte Pilgrim

Jason Brice raised to 1,250 from the cutoff seat to open the action. When it got over to Dwyte Pilgrim in the small blind, he made a reraise to 2,600. The big blind got out of the way and then Brice made the call.

The two players saw the flop come down {Q-Diamonds} {8-Spades} {4-Spades}. Pilgrim fired 2,275 and Brice called.

The turn brought the {7-Hearts} and Pilgrim studied his opponent long and hard. Then, he fired a bet of 3,375. Brice wasted little time in making the call.

The river was the {10-Spades}, completing a possible flush draw, but that didn't deter Pilgrim. He first asked the dealer to spread the pot and then fired all in.

As Brice tanked, Pilgrim started to chat him up. "Do you play flush draws like that, sir?" he asked. He kept talking while Brice thought, and eventually said, "If you have a flush, you win."

After another few moments, Pilgrim went on to say, "It's money over matter, not mind over matter. If you use mind over matter you'll make the right choice."

A few seconds later, Brice made the fold and Pilgrim scooped the pot, showing pocket sevens for a turned set. After that little set back a few minutes ago, he now has roughly 38,000.
