The first three hands of heads-up saw a couple of button folds, then a raise-and-take for Matt Jarvis.

On the fourth hand, Jarvis limped from the button and Justin Filtz checked his option. The flop came {K-Hearts} {3-Diamonds} {5-Spades} . Filtz checked, Jarvis bet, and Filtz called. Both checked the {10-Hearts} turn. The river then brought the {Q-Hearts} . Filtz carved out 280,000 chips and set them forward, and after a bit of a think Jarvis made the call.

Filtz showed {4-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds} for a busted straight draw, while Jarvis had {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} for a pair of fives. Jarvis bumps up close to 9 million, and Filtz down closer to 2 million.
