David Singer

Major Tournaments and Wins

His first major success came in 2003 when he became the only player to make the final table of three major No-Limit Hold’em events at the WSOP in one year. He finished in 9th place in the 2003 WSOP Main Event for $120,000. This was a pivotal year in his career as it cemented his status as one of the most consistent players in tournament poker.

In 2006, Singer made WSOP history by finishing sixth in the $50,000 HORSE event. It was one of the most prestigious tournaments at the time and the final table was televised by ESPN. The competition was incredible, with Doyle Brunson, Phil Ivey, Chip Reese and T.J. Cloutier – players whose names are written in poker history. For his sixth-place finish, he took home $411,840, which was one of his biggest prizes at the time.

The following year, he made the HORSE final table again for the same $50,000 buy-in, becoming the first player to reach this stage twice in a row in such a tough tournament.

WSOP Main Event Wins and Bracelets

Despite many deep runs and final tables, Singer didn’t win his first WSOP bracelet until 2008 when he won the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold’em event. He then earned $214,131, a milestone in his career.

Nearly a decade later, in 2017, he added a second WSOP bracelet by winning the $1,500 H.O.R.S.E. event. This time, his prize totaled $203,709.

In addition to the WSOP, he has had other big wins. In 2007, he won the Caesars Palace Classic where he took home $1,000,000 for first place. And in 2008, he impressed the poker world again when he won the $25,000 Full Tilt Poker Heads-Up Championship, becoming the champion among the top 64 players.

Overall poker success

As of 2010, his total live tournament winnings exceeded $4200,000, of which $1493368 came from WSOP tournaments. This makes him one of the most consistent players of his era, who has not only won major tournaments, but has regularly performed well over the years.

David Singer is an example of a player who chose the path of long-term stability over short-term spurts. His career is proof that aggression doesn’t always win in poker, sometimes it’s analytics, patience and calculation that win the day.
