Pilgrim Saved by an Ace on the River
Josh Bergman opened to 26,000 from the cutoff and immediately after him Dwyte Pilgrim moved all in for 196,000 on the button. Timothy Finne promptly re-shoved for about 300,000 from the small blind forcing Bergman to fold. The hands were tabled and Pilgrim was dominated.

"I never give up!" he said with a smile.
For their efforts, Pilgrim and Finne chopped the big blind, the antes and Bergman's opening raise.
