"Pilgrim Does It!"

Dwyte Pilgrim was left with just about 4,000 after his {10-Hearts}{10-Spades} fell to a shorter-stacked opponent's {K-Hearts}{J-Diamonds} when the board ran out {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{K-Spades}.

However, he is back up to roughly 24,000 after first finding a triple up. With a crowd gathering around to watch, Pilgrim (with {A-Spades}{J-Hearts}), was all in against Kyle Cartwright's {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts} and another opponent's {K-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. It looked bleak for Pilgrim, but he survived after the board fell {K-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{10-Hearts} to give him Broadway. "Pilgrim does it!, he laughed.

Cartwright, meanwhile won the side pot to stay alive as well.
