Singer Back up There

The first double-up came courtesy of Gregory Alston. Alston raised preflop from early position and Singer called from middle position. Alston bet 70,000 on the
flop, roughly to cover Singer, who delightedly announced himself all in anyway. There was clear pain on Alston's face as Singer turned over 
, and he muttered, "I didn't think you'd call with that," as he turned over his now-dominated 
. No help for Alston from the 
turn or 
river, and Singer was very much back in the running with 160,000, while Alston dropped to around 180,000.A couple of hands later, during which first Robert Lipkin and then Jacobo Fernandez (who's been very quiet so far today for such a big stack) took down the blinds uncontested with late-position raises, and Singer was back in it, this time raising 22,000 under the gun. Al Barbieri flat-called from the button, looking slightly tense. Nevertheless he insta-called Singer's 40,000 bet on the
flop, and further insta-called Singer's all-in bet on the 
turn. He was expressionless when he turned over 
and discovered that he was very far behind Singer's 
The on the river didn't change a thing, although it presumably was a thing of great beauty in the eyes of Singer. He is now on 320,000, with only Fernandez ahead of him in chips.
