A Singer Saga

On a flop of {A-Spades} {K-Diamonds} {4-Clubs}. A middle-position player checked to David Singer in the cutoff, who bet 1,500. The MP player insta-called. The {2-Diamonds} came down on the turn. This time, the MP player led out for 2,500. Singer, who is typically emotionless while playing, screwed his face up a bit and sat up in his chair, leaning over the table as he tanked, and finally made the call.

"Do you have it?" asked Singer. His opponent remained silent.

The river was the {10-Hearts} . The MP player led out for 1,500. Singer only had 2,000 left in his stack.

"You're not putting me all in? You're going to leave me with chips?" wondered Singer before making the call.

"Two pair," said Singer.

"You had me," said his opponent as he mucked his cards.

Singer raked in the pot and is now up to 14,500.
