[edit] World Series of Poker
Singer has had quite a bit of success in World Series of Poker play. He is the only person to make the final table of the three largest buy-in No-Limit Hold'em events in a single year at the World Series of Poker. At the 2003 series, Singer made the final table of the Main Event, busting out in ninth place. Singer's biggest result at the 2006 World Series of Poker was a sixth place finish in the $50,000 HORSE event.
After being away from the majority of the 2007 WSOP for personal reasons,[2] he became the first player to make back-to-back final tables in the $50,000 HORSE event, again finishing sixth.
At the 2008 World Series of Poker in the $1,500 Pot-Limit Hold'em event Singer won his first bracelet earning $214,131.
