Pattinson Shocks Singer

[user67765]

Dustin Pattinson raised from the cutoff to 10,000 and David Singer reraised to about 35,000 which was enough to put Pattinson all in. He decided to make the call and tabled an ambitious {3-Clubs}

up against the {A-Spades}

The board of {3-Diamonds}

left Pattinson with the only pair and Singer in a state of shock.

"Did you get that hand?" Singer asked our reporter, "...because I'm not sure I saw it!"

Singer is still in good shape on about 365,000 in chips.
