Nice Double, Pilgrim

A middle-position player raised to 525, finding calls from three players including Humberto Brenes and Dwyte Pilgrim.

The flop came {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs} {7-Diamonds}, and Pilgrim shoved all in for his last 3,600 chips. The raiser and Brenes folded, but the fourth player quickly called to put Pilgrim at risk.

Showdown
Pilgrim: {Q-Clubs} {10-Diamonds}
Opponent: {J-Clubs} {3-Clubs}

Pilgrim thought he was on a draw, but he actually had the best hand with two cards to come.

The turn was a blank {7-Hearts}, and so was the river {A-Diamonds}. With neither player improving, Pilgrim's queen-high is enough to double him up to about 9,500.
