Can I Have Your Autograph Please?

[user42991]

Jamie Gold was doing an interview with ESPN right next to the PokerNews desk here at the media tower in the Orange section. He was discussing his charitable work with different organizations when David Singer stopped by. Singer picked up a piece of paper and wrote, "Should I ask for an autograph on camera?" and went around to the side and showed it to the interviewer. Of course, she didn't oblige him.

After the interview, Singer got Gold's autograph. Singer was getting autographs on a shirt for charity.

The first two players checked, Mahmood bet, the big blind called and then the other player raised. Mahmood called as did the big blind.
