David Singer OutDavid Singer Eliminated, Not Without Controversy
On a flop of
and facing a bet of 3,000 from a late-position player David Singer moved all from the button for 9,450.
Here's where the hand gets interesting. As David's opponent was contemplating his decision his cell phone rang -- he removed it from his pocket, glanced at it and turned it off. Singer said nothing at first but made a motion to the dealer.
Then his opponent said "I'll just pay you off, I'll call."
At this point Singer said, "His hand should be dead," and requested a ruling from the floorperson. When the floorperson heard the situation she called for the Tournament Director to make a ruling.
After a re-enactment of exactly how the player touched his phone, the Tournament Director ruled that his hand was not dead and he would be allowed to play.
Singer then requested a higher ruling, saying, "I have a drawing hand here and I obviously don't want him to be allowed to call."
This request was denied and the players' hands were tabled, with Singer showing
for bottom pair and a flush draw and his opponent holding 
for top pair.
The turn
and river 
did not help Singer and he has been eliminated.
As he left the table he was asking for a refund, saying, "Ever since I have been here, I have been told that if you touch your phone during a hand then your hand is dead."
At this point we don't know if that request will be considered but we do know that David Singer will not be playing Day Two of the Main Event, and he's not happy about it. -
