DP Doubles-Up
Giving the chip lead to Dwyte Pilgrim, a former WPT Borgata Poker Open Champion, is one thing, but a double stack on the first hand of the tournament is ridiculous.
Holding J 10, Pilgrim and his opponent see a flop of 10 5 2 and Pilgrim calls a flop bet. The turn brings another 10 and Pilgrim calls with trips. The river is another 2 and when his opponent moves all in Pilgrim snap calls and shows the winning full house.
"My hand just kept getting better," says Pilgrim, who won his title in 2010 for $734,000. "Top pair, trips and a full house on the river."
Pilgrim, who now has 30k, is catching some good-natured ribbing from the other players at the table.
"I want my money back," says Ken Silverstein (Edison, NJ). "His range is 3-7 and higher and now he has a double stack."
Also at the table is Mike Borovetz (Pittsburgh, PA) who's fresh off his second place finish in Event 2 for $16,754.
