Pilgrim Literally Shoves in his Chips

In a hand right before the break, and following a flop of {k-Spades}{7-Clubs}{3-Spades}, Dwyte Pilgrim checked action over to Cory Thompson who bet 7,000. Pilgrim then opted to shove all in. He literally pushed his stacks of chips totaling 44,000 over onto the middle of the table.

After the chips had spilled every direction possible Thompson tried to figure out the reasoning behind Pilgrim's move. Thompson speculated that Pilgrim was trying to represent a strong hand.

Eventually Thompson opted to call but found that his {q-Spades}{q-Clubs} was behind to Pilgrim's {k-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The {2-Spades} on the turn gave Thompson some flush outs, but the {2-Clubs} on the river couldn't save him and he was sent to the rail.

It took awhile, but after Pilgrim's chips were all stacked back up they totaled 110,000.
