This Canary Won't Sing

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

The flop read {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{4-Hearts} when a player in the small blind led out for 2,200.

His opponent wasted little time in moving his entire stack forward, risking his last 15,475 with the all-in wager.

With the action back on him, the small blind agonized over his decision, first asking the dealer for a count of the bet to him before counting out the calling chips and sizing up the remainder.

Eventually, after about two minutes of deliberation the small blind player called off to leave himself with only 8,000 or so. When he did, the all-in player immediately tabled his {A-Diamonds}{j-Hearts} for trip jacks with an ace kicker. The small blind player could only muster the {J-Spades}{3-Hearts} for an inferior trips, and the river bricked off to leave him with the second-best hand.

Asked for his name as he dragged the pot, the winner replied brusquely with the word "Sing," before retreating to the refuge of his headphones and hoodie.
