Over at table #375, we've observed Dwyte Pilgrim playing the role of aggressor, much to the chagrin of Kathy Liebert. Pilgrim has raised many, if not all of Liebert's blinds thus far, and Liebert can only laugh about it while never seeing a flop with him.
After this action started to seemingly become a trend, Pilgrim made it 2,800 from under the gun while Liebert was in the big blind. Liebert and the rest of the table gave a laugh.
"Would I rather be a lion or a lamb?" Libert asked with a smile. "Should I play aggressive and go bust really quick?"
Before anyone could provide an answer to her question, Karec Terrell moved all in from middle position. Action folded back around to Pilgrim who flipped over his cards, calling without even saying a word.
Pilgrim:
Terrell:
The board didn't help Terrell and Pilgrim's aces held up, awarding him the pot.
"I don't blame him for going in with nines against you", Liebert said while laughing.
"She's corrupting your minds!", Pilgrim said to the rest of the table while scooping the pot. "I play tighter than you think".
The very next hand action folded around to Liebert's small blind and she just let out a sigh and laughed, mucking her cards. Pilgrim gladly took his walk in the big blind. He's now sitting with over 70,000 in chips.
