Guiglini Gouges Ziyard
Not long after returning from that one-orbit penalty, Zimnan Ziyard just found himself engaged in a lengthy, tension-filled hand versus Aurelien Guiglini that resulted in a significant chip swing.
The hand began with a middle-position raise to 12,000 by Jean Pierre Petroli, called by Ziyard from a seat over. Guiglini then reraised to 40,000 from the button, and it folded back to Petroli who thought a long while before folding. Ziyard called the reraise quickly, however, and the remaining two players saw the flop come 
.
Ziyard led at the flop for 11,500, then Guiglini raised to 45,000. Again acting without hesitation, Ziyard called. The turn brought the 
and a bet of 13,500 from Ziyard, which Guiglini called.
The river brought the 
and another bet from Ziyard, relatively small at 14,500. Guiglini waited about a minute, then pushed out a column of gray chips for a raise to 100,000.
That slowed Ziyard down, and he took off his sunglasses as he began the process of working through the hand and coming to a conclusion about how to respond to Guiglini's bet. Finally after three minutes Ziyard said he was calling, and Guiglini quickly tabled 
for kings and sixes. Ziyard nodded, pushing his cards face down toward the dealer with one hand while carving what he owed Guiglini with the other.
While Ziyard suddenly slips down to just over 100,000, Guiglini catapults up near the top of the leader board after having endured the bubble-bursting period on a short stack not that long ago.
