Filtz Forces Fold
Level 28
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
Matt Jarvis raised to 110,000 from the button, then Justin Filtz kicked it up to 300,000. Jarvis considered for a moment, then called.

and Filtz checked. Jarvis checked as well.

and Filtz checked once more. Jarvis took the opening to bet 400,000, then Filtz waited about a minute before check-raising to 1.1 million. Jarvis paused momentarily, then tossed his cards away.
Filtz increases his lead with that one, moving to about 6.4 million to Jarvis' 4.5 million.
O Canada
Level 28
: 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante
If Matt Jarvis were to prevail in this heads-up battle, that would push the total number of bracelets won by Canadians at this year's WSOP to five. Canada already has the most of any country other than the U.S., who leads all countries with 26 bracelet winners from the 39 events concluded thus far. A win by Wisconsin resident Justin Filtz would increase the Americans' lead.
Here's the current tally:
| Country | Bracelets |
|---|---|
| United States | 26 |
| Canada | 4 |
| Great Britain | 3 |
| France | 3 |
| Russia | 2 |
| Ukraine | 1 |

The Champ Is Here!
Level 27
: 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
2010 World Series of Poker Main Event Champion, fellow November Niner and friend of chip leader Matt Jarvis, Jonathan Duhamel has just showed up to rail his countryman. Duhamel is sporting a Vancouver Canucks jersey with the name "Jarvis" on the back. We've seen Jarvis wear a counter jersey -- Montreal Canadiens jersey with "Duhamel" on the back -- during the WSOP.
The two must've had a bet during the NHL playoffs, because Duhamel is actually a Canadiens fan, and Jarvis is a Canucks fan.
Regardless, Duhamel -- 15th-place finisher in this event -- is here to cheer on his friend on his quest for his first WSOP gold bracelet.

on the river paired the board, and Jarvis checked a third time. Filtz bet 225,000, and Jarvis instantly called.

for a king-high straight, but Jarvis had him beat with 
for Broadway.
