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.
Manelic Minaya raised to 500,000 from the cutoff and Kevin Song was the only player to make the call from the button.
They both checked through the K?J?2? flop to the 7? on the turn. Minaya put out a bet of 275,000 for Song to instantly fold.

Sean Jazayeri opened under the gun to 450,000 and Gary Fisher called on the button. Gregory Nichols was in the big blind and shoved for around 1,600,000, which eventually got Fisher to fold. Jazayeri snap-called.
Gregory Nichols: A?J?
Sean Jazayeri: Q?Q?
Nichols did have outs but never found any of them as the runout of 6?K?4?5?7? kept the pocket queens of Jayazeri in the lead throughout the hand's entirety.
