Two years ago, the World Series of Poker Circuit discovered Dwyte Pilgrim here at Harrah's in Atlantic City. Pilgrim's poker career began a bit earlier in 2008, and he picked up two small cashes of less than $1,000 to start him off. Then came December. On the 11th of the month, he mini-cashed in the $1,000 side event here at the WSOPC for his first four-figure score. Five figures came the very next day as Pilgrim made a seventh-place run in the $2,000 event. That led directly into the $5,000 Main Event, and Dwyte managed to put his face on the map with another seventh-place finish, his second five-figure score in three days.
Just like that, Pilgrim had a little bankroll to work with, and he's done rather well for himself since then. In March of 2009, Pilgrim won his first title and his first Circuit ring, taking down a huge $500 event at Caesars here in Atlantic City. He won his second ring (and his first six-figure cash) later the same month as the Circuit migrated to Southern California where Pilgrim took down the $5,000 main event for $125,000. He's gone on to add one more ring to his collection since then, and in September of this year, he really broke through in an enormous way. Dwyte won the Atlantic City WPT event held at the Borgata for nearly three-quarters of a million dollars.
All told, Dwyte has more than $1.5 million in earnings in the last two years, and it began right here at the WSOPC Harrah's Atlantic City. This city loves Dwyte Pilgrim.
