Alston In

And almost as soon as he'd got that huge stack, David Singer gave some of it right back.

Gregory Alston, still visibly reeling a little from doubling Singer up before the break, made it 27,000 from the button, and looked incredibly irked when none other than Singer called from the big blind.

They both checked the {9-Hearts} {A-Clubs} {4-Spades} flop, Alston blinking furiously. The turn came the {J-Diamonds} and now Singer bet out 27,000. Alston thought about it for a while, looking considerably stressed, and then announced all in. There was a brief argument between the dealer, the floor man and Alston regarding whether his all in was within the pot limit. It was. During this time, Singer remained motionless, sunglasses on, thinking. Eventually, the disagreement resolved and all eyes back on him, he silently passed.

Singer back down to a still respectable 280,000, Alston back to 210,000 or so.
