Ziyard Destroyed
Level 18
: 3,000/6,000, 1,000 ante
Zimnan Ziyard seemed to be in the zone for a lot of this tournament and many observers were predicting a deep EPT run once again for the former champion. It's not to be after a very bad passage of play that's left him feeling, "Destroyed" as he described it and on the rail.
He shoved the last of his chips in from the small blind with 
and the big blind called with 
. Both players flopped open-ended straight draws on the J-T-X flop and the turn brought about a second club giving Ziyard flush outs. He made a pair on the nine river but the card made his opponent a winning straight.
