David Singer

There were 18 players to start the day in Event #14: $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. and it was a star-studded field that returned. Multiple bracelet winners Max Pescatori, Brandon Shack-Harris, Ian Johns, Richard Ashby, James Richburg and David “Bakes” Baker were all looking to add another to their wrist. At the end of the day it was David Singer, another bracelet winner, who walked away with the bracelet and the $203,709 first place prize after a nearly six-hour heads-up battle.

Singer and Kevin LaMonica traded blows throughout the entire day, starting from the first level. It got to the point where LaMonica began calling Singer his nemesis because of how often they were involved, and how often Singer beat him in a pot. And Singer was able to survive mostly thanks to LaMonica. He doubled up through him multiple times, including once at the beginning of the final table where Singer made a straight and a low to scoop and survive. All of this culminated in one of the longest heads-up matches of the summer so far.

The day started fast and furious with players falling left and right very quickly. Jan Stein, Adam Crawford and Jon Seaman all dropped very quickly. Yuval Bronshtein and Richard Ashby hit the rail not long after, both eliminated by LaMonica during the razz round. “Razz has been my best friend this week,” LaMonica said during heads up play, and it was during the Razz rounds that he built the most of his stack. It got to the point where LaMonica challenged Singer to play Razz against him. “Yeah, you play,” he said. “But you don’t gamble.”

Ian Johns fell next, also to LaMonica in a hand of limit hold’em, where LaMonica’s aces held up against Johns’ {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}. LaMonica used his good fortune and monstrous chip stack to apply extreme pressure on his opponents. At the final table he was raising without looking at his cards, completing with tens, jacks, and kings up in Razz, calling with any four cards in Omaha. This relentless aggression would be the down fall of several players, including Shack-Harris and Pescatori.

It was Singer on the other side of the table who acted as the silent assassin. He spoke very little, but after doubling up through LaMonica he managed to take out four players. Between LaMonica and Singer, they eliminated every other player at the final table, almost as if they were destined to come to a showdown. Singer and LaMonica’s heads-up match lasted for hours. LaMonica was so tired he asked to be comped a room, but he was told they couldn’t accommodate him at the hotel. “I guess it’s Circus Circus for me tonight,” he said.

Eventually, Singer was able to wear down LaMonica, frustrating him with his slow, methodical, and tight play. LaMonica admitted to a friend going on break that Singer had put him on tilt and he was playing bad. Singer never let up though, he stayed steady with his play for the entire final table, and finally, in the final hand, took LaMonica down by making a boat in Omaha Hi-Lo.

“It was frustrating to play against that,” Singer said about LaMonica’s unorthodox playing style. “Every time he would do something like that I would have a big hand. Most of the time I played well, but I was getting unlucky in the big hands. It went back and forth for a while.”

Singer’s perseverance paid off. After being down to just one and a half big bets at one point he was able to come back and close out the tournament. “I was kind of frustrated,” Singer said. “But I always think I have a chance to come back.” And that he did. He was able to change the momentum of the heads up match and take home his second WSOP gold bracelet, after winning his first in 2008 in a $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold’em event.

Max Pescatori opened. From the small blind, Kevin LaMonica raised. Action folded back to Pescatori and he raised again. LaMonica called.

The flop was {9-Spades}{3-Clubs}{3-Spades} and LaMonica bet. Pescatori raised and LaMonica called. The turn was the {7-Spades} and LaMonica checked to Pescatori who moved all in. LaMonica called.

LaMonica: {A-Spades}{4-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{J-Spades}

Pescatori was in good shape to take at least half of the pot but the {5-Diamonds} on the river changed everything. LaMonica made a straight and a low and that was good to scoop the pot and to eliminate Pescatori from the tournament. He will have to wait for another day to lock up his fifth bracelet but will collect $62,733 for his fourth-place finish.
