Singer Sends One Packing

We missed the action, but when we reached his table, David Singer had an opponent all in, and the hands and board looked like this:

Singer: {a-Hearts}{q-Diamonds}
Opponent: {9-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}

Board: {5-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds}

Ace-high was good enough for Singer, and the late registrant has nearly double the starting stack already.
