Brooklyn New York's Dwyte Pilgrim, was the last man standing yesterday after two impressive days of play in the World Series of Poker Circuit Harrah's Rincon event, earning himself $125,775. 

Pilgrim outlasted a total field of 106 entrants that included such top players as Bryan "Devo" Devonshire, Steve Billirakis, Eric "Rizen" Lynch, Shaun Deeb, Matt "allinat420" Stout and Esther "E-Tay" Taylor.
