Zimmy Loses Out To "The Cowboy"

Level 1 : 50/100, 0 ante

British pro Zimnan Ziyard opened the betting with a raise to 225 from early position and the player to his immediate left, Artur Voskanyan, made the call. The hand became three-handed when Yilmaz "The Cowboy" Oguz called from the small blind. We are not sure if he is actually known as The Cowboy but his Stetson hat and his blue and white poncho give that impression.

The first three community cards fell {q-Clubs}{9-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and the action folded to Ziyard who then continued with a bet of 275. This folded out Voskanyan but Oguz stuck around.

The turn brought the {8-Spades} into play and both players checked but when Oguz fired a 350 bet as soon as the {5-Diamonds} hit the felt, Ziyard got out of the way annd he insta-folded.
