Besnik Ziba vs. Jason Mercier

Level 20: 6,000-12,000, 2,000 ante

Jason Mercier raises to 27,000 from under the gun, Besnik Ziba calls from the small blind, and Sorel Mizzi calls out of the big blind.

The flop comes down 8club6diamond2spade and Ziba leads out for 42,000.  Mizzi folds and Mercier raises.  Ziba quickly announces he is all-in for 295,000 on top of Mercier's raise and Mercier thinks a minute or two before folding.

Before Ziba mucks his cards, he makes Mercier an offer.

"You can see one," he tells him.  Mercier calls out, "jack," before he flips up one of Ziba's cards--the Jspade.  Ziba flashes another jack before he mucks his cards and takes the pot.

Besnik Ziba Doubles Through Sorel Mizzi

Level 19: 5,000-10,000, 1,500 ante

The flop comes down 9diamond8spade6club, Keven Stammen checks in middle position, and Besnik Ziba bets 50,000.  Sorel Mizzi is in the cutoff and raises to 125,000.  Stammen folds and Ziba announces he is all-in for 223,000.

Mizzi calls and Ziba tells him, "I have top set," as he turns over 9club9spade.  Mizzi shows 7heart7diamond for an open-ended straight draw.  The turn is the Jspade and the river the 6spade and Ziba fills up to take the pot and double up.

Jeff Forrest Staying Active

Level 17: 3,000-6,000, 500 ante

Jeff Forrest raises to 14,000 from under the gun and  Besnik Ziba calls from the button.  The flop falls AclubKclub4diamond and Ziba checks.  Forrest bets 22,000 and Ziba calls.  The turn is the Aheart and both players check.  The river is the Jdiamond and Forrest bets 45,000.  Ziba folds and Forrest takes the pot.

Forrest still holds the chip lead, but he's dropped a few chips during this long hand-for-hand period.  He seems undeterred though and is one of the most active players in the field at the moment.

Jeff Forrest - 830,000 - (138 big blinds)
Besnik Ziba - 210,000 (35 big blinds)
