Stud-8

David Singer doubled up once earlier, to go from critically short to just short. He was soon all in again. Dan Makowsky completed on third street, then called after Singer raised. On fourth street, Singer made an open pair and bet it. Makowsky raised, Singer re-raised, and then Makowsky put in the fourth bet, enough to put Singer all in. He called and opened     /    , a pair of sevens. Makowsky showed     /    . Singer's board bricked out the rest of the way,     and  , to finish with a pair of sevens and no low.
