Pilgrim Gets a Funny Penalty

. Here is where things get interesting.
Lindley checked, and according to her, Pilgrim frustratingly checked, and tabled 
for a flopped flush. The problem is, Pilgrim didn't notice that he had made a straight flush on the river. Because he was the last to act, and checked with the nuts, he was given a one round penalty.

for top pair, and it was good enough to take the pot down. After that hand, Weber is up to 29,000.
