It's Only Five Big Blinds

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

What is five big blinds anyways?

This is what Dwyte Pilgrim was telling his opponent. Pilgrim was in the big blind for 400. His opponent pushed all in for 2,150 preflop and action folded to Pilgrim. For Pilgrim any two cards were good to play for only five big blinds as he called.

Pilgrim: {3-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}
Opponent: {a-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}

The board ran out {6-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} and Pilgrim's only shot of winning was the straight draw on the turn. It missed and Pilgrim doubled up the short stack. He does not have to worry to much as he had an above average stack of 19,000 after the hand.
