Pilgrim Doubles Up Through Buzgon

Dwyte Pilgrim

We are not 100% sure of the action, but we are fairly certain that after a series of raises Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in against his opponent Daniel Buzgon preflop. Buzgon called and cards were tabled.

Pilgrim: {A-Clubs}{A-Spades}
Buzgon: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}

With an ace hitting in the door of a {A-Hearts}{K-Spades}{8-Clubs} flop Pilgrim looked to be in great shape to double up as long as he could avoid a run-run straight. The {9-Spades} on the turn sealed the deal and Pilgrim doubled up. A meaningless {10-Diamonds} rolled off the deck for the river, but no one really noticed as everyone was counting chips to make sure Pilgrim was going to be awarded to correct amount for doubling up.
