Tony G Sings His Last Verse

Tony G
Tony G
David Singer raised from early position, making it 8,000 to play. Action passed around to the small blind, where "Tony G" Guoga reraised it up to 22,500, leaving just 1,000 chips behind. Singer called, and failing to see Tony G's last chip, exposed his hand: {K-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Hearts} {J-Diamonds}. The floor was called over to make a ruling, and they determined that Singer would be given a penalty for prematurely turning over his live hand. Tony G, however, insisted that he not be punished, and the floor heeded his request.

The flop came {10-Hearts} {3-Hearts} {8-Clubs}, and Tony G dropped his last lonely chip into the middle, with Singer matching it. Tony G flipped over his hand, and was leading but in a coinflip with {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {J-Hearts} {7-Hearts}. The turn brought the troublesome {9-Spades}, and the river {8-Spades} was the last card Tony G will see in this event.
