Pilgrim Plundered by "The Henchman"

2009 WSOP Circuit Rincon champion Dwyte Pilgrim won't be able to add a bracelet to his championship ring after having been eliminated by Zachary Hench.

All the money was in the middle preflop; Pilgrim was the short stack and had moved in with {8-Spades}{8-Diamonds}, but ran smack into Hench's {9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}.

Neither hand improved on the board of {6-Hearts}{A-Diamonds}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Pilgrim's now off to an early (and permanent dinner break).
