Showdown!

It's so unusual at this stage, I thought it deserved its own headline.

After assorted hands of back and forth blind-stealing and occasionally waiting until the flop to take a pot down with a cheeky bet, our players limp and check their way to a turn. The board reads {7-Diamonds} {A-Hearts} {10-Hearts} {K-Clubs} and Fernandez checks to Singer, who bets 50,000. Fernandez calls. They both check the {10-Clubs} river, and it's time to look at the hole cards -- Singer has {K-Spades} {4-Hearts} for a pair of kings, and Fernandez has {J-Spades} {9-Diamonds} for a double belly buster on the turn that never came to fruition. Very cagey play, indicating how hungry they both are for that shiny, shiny bracelet.
