Aw Shucks, Says Sheiky

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}{4-Spades}{8-Clubs}, Sheikhan had called a shorter-stacked opponent's all-in bet. Sheikhan had {7-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}, and his opponent held {9-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Sheikhan was ahead, for now.

But the {10-Diamonds} turn left Sheikhan hoping for a chop. The river brought no nine, however, and he's tumbled down to 35,000.
