It folded around to David Singontiko who opened with a raise to 40,000 on the button. Robert Campbell folded, then chip leader Jeffrey Gibralter reraised pot from the big blind.
The action back on him, Singontiko sat for a moment in silence, then piped up. "I - will - not - be - pushed - a - round!" he said with a kind of mock anger, shaking his fist to punctuate each syllable. Then a sheepish grin spread across his face.
"Yeah, I will," he said, and pushed his cards forward. The table laughed in response.

He still sits with about 1.35 million, though, plenty of chips with which to try to push around others. Singontiko is in fact his nearest challenger right now with a little over half that stack.
