What is it about one-outer straight flushes involving poker legends this summer? Daniel Negreanu hit the dream card on the river in a crucial pot late Wednesday, and he's now in a solid position to end an 11-year World Series of Poker (WSOP) bracelet drought.
The hand took place on Day 4 of Event #58: $50,000 Poker Players Championship, one of the most prestigious tournaments every year. And it will go down as one of the most memorable from the tournament.
Ravi Shankar raised 400,000 from the small blind and Juan Vecino defended the big blind.
When the J♦J♣10♣ flop hit the felt, Shankar continued for 300,000 and Vecino called.
The 9♦ hit the turn and Shankar checked to Vecino who fired 700,000. Shankar took a few seconds before announcing all in for about 2,100,000 and Vecino snap-called.
Shankar looked disappointed to see the snap-call as he asked, "Do you have a jack?" and both hands were tossed on their backs.
Ravi Shankar: A♦10♥
Juan Vecino: Q♣J♠
Vecino did indeed have a jack and the 8♦ river was no help for Shankar as he headed to the payout desk.
