Singer Removes a Rung From Jacobo's Ladder

Serial raiser and current chip leader Jacobo Fernandez makes it 42,000 from early position and David Singer makes the call. On the {A-Spades}{4-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, Fernandez bets out 60k, Singer calls, and both players see a {3-Diamonds} turn. Check, check leads to a {6-Clubs} river, a second check from Fernandez and a bet of 105,000 from Singer.

Singer, whose hands boast more bling than a Mr T convention, initially remains motionless as his opponent sizes up his options. However, as soon as Jacobo counts out the bet and separates it from the rest of his stack whilst he continues to think, Singer becomes uncharacteristically fidgety, squirming in his seat, scratching his nose and acting like anything but the stoic, statuesque figure that we have become accustomed to.

A few moments later, Fernandez makes the call, but taps the table upon seeing Singer's {A-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds} and mucks his hand.
