Dwyte Pilgrim Straightens Out to Stay Afloat

Level 4 : 150/300, 25 ante
Dwyte Pilgrim
Dwyte Pilgrim

After his starting stack of 30,000 had dwindled to the danger zone, circuit grinder and accomplished pro Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in over the top of a 700 bet, risking for his last 2,925 on the {j-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{7-Hearts} flop.

His opponent called with {9-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} and Pilgrim flipped up the {A-Diamonds}{k-Hearts}, meaning both players were drawing to straights, with Pilgrim's Broadway draw in front.

The turn brought the {10-Spades} to the table, pairing Pilgrim's opponent but giving him the nut straight. After an irrelevant {2-Diamonds} on the river, Pilgrim survived his all-in encounter to keep his short stack grind alive.
