David Singer Takes an Early Pot

In a three-way limped pot, the players saw a flop of {9-Spades}{Q-Spades}{4-Diamonds}. David Singer bet 125 from the small blind, and got two callers.

Singer bet 325 at the {2-Diamonds} on the turn, and got called again. The river brought the {6-Diamonds} and a check from Singer. The hijack bet 500, the button folded, and Singer gave the board brief consideration before making the call.

When his opponent showed {K-?}{10-?} for a busted straight draw, Singer showed {9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} for a pair of 9s. He's up to 6,000 chips.
