The carousel of double-ups continues. This time it was Dwyte Pilgrim who moved all in preflop, from the small blind for 321,000. Charles Moore made the call and they turned over their cards:

Pilgrim hit a third 8 on the river to survive and keep his hopes of winning another WSOP Circuit main event alive. He doubled up to 700,000 after the hand and Moore settled in around 800,000. “Can’t stop destiny,” said Pilgrim as he collected the pot.
Blair Hinkle has been the most volatile player on the final day of the event. One minute he’s the chip leader and the next he is in need of a double up. The most recent hand he played features the latter.
Dwyte Pilgrim raised to 40,000 from the cutoff preflop and Blair Hinkle reraised all in for 383,000 from the big blind. Their cards:
