Aw Shucks, Says Sheiky

Shamus

Not really. But surely some variation of that phrase occurred to Shawn "Sheiky" Sheikhan after he just took a hit to his stack.

With the board showing {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

{4-Spades}

{8-Clubs}

, Sheikhan had called a shorter-stacked opponent's all-in bet. Sheikhan had {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Clubs}

, and his opponent held {9-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

{7-Hearts}

. Sheikhan was ahead, for now.

But the {10-Diamonds}

{10-Diamonds}

turn left Sheikhan hoping for a chop. The river brought no nine, however, and he's tumbled down to 35,000.
