Pilgrim Flies American
Limit
Timothy Finne raised to open the pot, and Dwyte Pilgrim and Eli Elezra each put in three bets apiece to come along to a three-handed, three-bet flop.
It rolled out and Elezra checked. Finne bet, Pilgrim raised, and both opponents called. The turn hit the board, and Elezra and Finne called a Pilgrim bet. They each called one more bet on the river.
Elezra showed his first, and that was better than Finne's hand. Pilgrim, however, turned up , and that scoops him a nice limit pot. He's all the way up to about 210,000 now, and that puts him atop the leader board. Meanwhile, Elezra dips to less than 75,000.
"It could be worse," said Elezra afterwards. "It could be no-limit!"
