Pilgrim Takes a Huge Final Pot

On the flop of {J-Hearts} {8-Hearts} {7-Diamonds}, Dwyte Pilgrim bet 7,000 into two players. Jean Gaspard called along with the other player.

The turn brought the {3-Diamonds} and Pilgrim bet 11,500. Gaspard called as did the third player in the hand.

After the river fell the {A-Spades}, Pilgrim fired a massive 65,400. This bet sent Gaspard into the tank and he stayed there for multiple minutes. Finally, he folded, but his cards turned face up, {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds}. There was still action pending.

The third player took another moment and then folded. Dwyte was begged by the table to show his hand and eventually was persuaded into showing {10-Spades} {9-Hearts} for the flopped nut straight. He now has 179,200 chips to finish the day.
