Aiyah!

[user75032]

Oh Danny boy!

The Commerce Casino cash game tables tend to be heavily manned by players of Asian descent. It's very common to hear a cry of "Aiyah!" over the din of the poker room after a particularly brutal beat.

We didn't hear any "Aiyah!" from Daniel Negreanu's table, but if we were down at the cash game tables we surely would have. Negreanu wound up all in against one opponent on a board of {9-?}

{9-?}

{10-?}

{J-?}

{9-?}

. Negreanu's opponent flopped a straight with {7-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

; Negreanu flopped a bigger straight with {K-?}

{K-?}

{Q-?}

.

When the river blanked out a harmless {5-?}

{5-?}

, Negreanu collected the pot to increase his count to 60,000. His opponent staggered out of the tournament room.
