In fact, most of today's spectators agree that these two fully deserve their first and second place finishes, whichever way around they fall; David Singer has shown the patience of a chess master whilst Jacobo Fernandez has dominated the table right up until this heads up clash, winning multiple pots with his aggressive play and rarely having to show a hand.
Good luck to the both of them as they head into battle for the conclusion of this $1,500 Pot Limit Hold'Em Freezeout.
Singer started the action, raising to 48,000 from the small blind. Jacoby called leading to a
flop hitting the felt.With Jacobo Fernandez check-calling a 70,000 bet from Singer, both players checked the
turn before Fernandez opted to bet out 200,000 on the river.Singer hesitated momentarily, but ultimately made the call.
Fernandez mouthed "good call" before hovering his cards over the felt, reluctant to muck just in case he was indeed ahead, but still not too keen to show what was likely the losing hand.
After a momentary stand-off, Singer showed first (although that responsibility was with his opponent), and revealed his
for the straight. The tournament director announced ace high, but it was definitely a straight from my perspective.
