Pilgrim Gets a Funny Penalty
Christina Lindley called us over to tell us about a funny hand that she had with Dwyte Pilgrim that has led to Pilgrim getting a one round penalty.
The flop came down 
, and it was checked to Lindley, who bet out 800. Pilgrim raised it up to 2,400, and everyone else got out of the way. Lindley called, and the turn brought a non-club 
. Lindley checked called a bet of 4,000, and the river came the 
. Here is where things get interesting.
Lindley checked, and according to her, Pilgrim frustratingly checked, and tabled 
for a flopped flush. The problem is, Pilgrim didn't notice that he had made a straight flush on the river. Because he was the last to act, and checked with the nuts, he was given a one round penalty.
The whole table, including Pilgrim, got a laugh out of it, and he went off to serve his punishment. It was a tough river for Lindley, who later said she flopped a jack high flush.
