Singer Crippled Then Eliminated

Singer falls
Singer falls
David Singer was crippled to his last 250 in chips when he was unable to best his opponent with both boards reading:

Singer: (X-X) / {A-Spades}{Q-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} / (X)
Opponent: (X-X) / {2-Spades}{K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} / (X)

His opponent tabled his {K-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Clubs} for two-pair and the pot.

A few hands later Singer managed to double up before being eliminated when his two-pair was no good against trips on the following boards:

Singer: {A-Hearts}{A-Clubs} / {10-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{9-Clubs} / {6-Spades}
Opponent: {10-Hearts}{2-Spades} / {2-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{2-Clubs} / {A-Diamonds}

Opponent: (X-X) / {4-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} / (X)

When called on seventh street, Paluszek tabled his down cards of {Q-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a flush and the pot to move to over 12,000 and change.

"I haven't seen a player hit so many flushes!" commented a fellow tablemate. Paluszek just laughed it off and continued stacking his chips.

Wroblewski started with {7-?}{8-?}{9-?} against Evdakov's {Q-?}{J-?}{10-?}. Wroblewski managed to make a pair of sevens, but Evdakov would also pair up with a queen to take the pot.

As Wroblewski headed to the rail, Evdakov chipped back up to his starting stack.
