Ziyard Runs Into Kings

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

Zimnan Ziyard has been left nursing a short stack after running his pocket jacks into the kings of Christopher Thomson.

Thomson was in the cutoff and Ziyard the big blind when a preflop raising war broke out that resulted in Thomson being all-in. Thomson showed {k-Spades}{K-Hearts} to Ziyard's {j-Clubs}{j-Spades} and when the board ran out {9-Spades}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} Thomason doubled up and Ziyard has a mighty task on his hands to rebuild his decimated stack.
