Dwyte Pilgrim's Bling
Dwyte Pilgrim's Bling
The four players seem content to feel each other out for the time being, so we'll drop a little knowledge on you to pass some time. Half of our remaining four players are actually playing for their second Circuit ring here today.

In the last Circuit stop at Caesars Atlantic City, Dwyte Pilgrim finally broke through to capture his first ring. Pilgrim had gone deep in a couple of Championship Events this Circuit season, and Event #4 at Caesars finally paid him off. Pilgrim outlasted a field of 579 runners to take home the hardware, not to mention the nearly $90,000 top prize.

Across the table from Pilgrim is Chris Tryba, our other remaining Circuit event champion, and his victory is still fresh in his memory. Earlier this week right here in Rincon, Event #8 had a buy-in of $450, and it drew 153 runners. Among them was, you guessed it, Chris Tryba. He charged to the top to take down the title, earning himself nearly $15,000 in the process.

With two out of the four players already owning the hardware, there's a 50/50 shot that someone will earn their second ring here today, putting them in elite company in the poker world.
