Singh Finds the Right Read but Can't Hold
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Karanvir Singh raised to 30,000 in middle position and was three-bet by Scot Fahrenbruch in the cutoff to 65,000. Singh made the call and the flop came 9♣8♥4♥.
Singh checked, Fahrenbruch put out a small bet of 25,000, and Singh raised to 65,000. Fahrenbruch made the call and the turn fell the 3♥.
Singh slowed down with a check and Fahrenbruch moved all in for 282,000 to put himself at risk. After taking some time to think through his decision, Singh flicked in one chip, signaling the call.
"Ace-king with the ace of hearts?" asked Singh, before the cards were tabled.
Scot Fahrenbruch: A♥J♣ 
Karanvir Singh: J♥J♠
Singh's read was pretty much spot on, but Fahrenbruch got there on the Q♥ river to stay alive.
