Airs this Sunday on FSN

This was a record number of entrants for a WPT event with 1,042 entrants and we get our first televised look at the WSOP Circuit champ Dwyte Pilgrim. The man that has two more rings than Doug Lee takes his game to national television and demands respect!

By the end of the end of the show you will either love or hate Dwyte but I guarantee you will find it entertaining!

I am going to get Mike and Vince on 2p2 to discuss if it kills me!

Bond18 comments please?

I think that Dwyte made for one of the most hilarious and ridiculous final tables I've ever seen. Like you said Matt, not everyone is going to appreciate him.

For those in New England, it appears this will air once here in NE on CSNNE at midnight tonight! Hopefully it will actually be on so I can finally see and episode of WPT this season.

I might like him if it wasn't for the fact I found out he berated a fellow player before because his style was unorthodox. This was recent before I even knew he won this tournament so as soon as I saw him I was definitely rooting against him.

I just don't think those actions are really acceptable. Bond you did a good job though with your analysis!

Tony, you are too nice to the guy. Pilgrim is not as good as he is just on some wannabe macho poker trip. I'd love to play DPill.

Sure wish it was a 2 hr show, rather than having to wait a week to see the shove-a-thon. The constant Club WPT pimping is a distraction, as is the bustout ticker IMO.

WPT has become nothing more than a ClubWPT infomercial. This season is sucking the big one.

I think it's a good twist, it was falling apart last year and with Tony Dunst and the recap of the early day action, it gives it more of a needed element rahter than 6 rando's at the last table and shove-a-thon.

Keep up the good work Bond

+1 would love to watch it, forgot to DVR it because to be quite honest WPT has been horrific. However DP did sit behind me in a circuit event and I found him hilarious. Anyone have a link?

+1 the canned interview between Mike and Vince during this show was awful. I do enjoy Bond18's bit and the beginning segment showing early action, especially the blowups. VVP's commentary has tilted me for a while but Sexton's work is good, if not too results oriented. VVP seems to jump out of his seat anytime anyone bets without the nuts or someone checks with them. Maybe this shtick plays better to the casual poker viewer but it tilts me when he acts like certain standard plays are ground-breaking. All-in-all I like the changes in format they've made this season though.

Pilgrim is incredibly fun. I love when another guy looks over for info on whether he should fold his 99, and Dwyte says, "you have beautiful eyes." (I dunno how the other guy managed to keep his composure and insult Dwyte's sunglasses.)

I agree. Also, if you're going to call your spokesmodels "Royal Flush Girls," shouldn't there be five of them? (And all the same color?)

i disagree. sure the plugs for club wpt are annoying but pretty standard. the coverage of the days leading up to the ft are great and bonds section is awesome too. i found dwyte extremely entertaining and think hes great for poker.

The play was not very good in this first episode but that exchange between Pilgrim and the Israeli guy was hilarious. Even though Pilgrim was talking smack and such it was pretty clear no one at the table disliked him, and everyone got along alright.
