Ziyard Pulls Oguz's Chain

Level 5 : 150/300, 25 ante

Zimnan Ziyard has just helped himself to a couple of thousand of Yilmaz Oguz's chips and although he is not up there with the chip leaders right now, he does look comfortable.

It was Oguz who opened the betting, raising to 650 from the hijack seat. Ziyard was in the big blind and when the action passed around to him he put in a three-bet to 1,525. Oguz made the call without much thought and it was heads-up to the {4-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} flop.

Ziyard checked the flop and Oguz checked behind. There was no such passivity on the {2-Hearts} turn as Ziyard lead out for 2,750 and a puzzled Oguz got out of the way.

"Did you have a big hand?" quizzed Oguz

"I had a big hand," said a smiling Ziyard before adding, "I had {j-Hearts}{10-Hearts},"

Ziyard then admitted to being less than truthful and said that he in fact held {2-}{2-}; but we are unsure about how close to the truth that is either.
