Bardah Splits One With Jarvis

Level 8 : 200/400, 50 ante

Action began with 2010 November-Nine'er Matthew Jarvis opening for 700 from the hi-jack position. Ronnie Bardah, who also made a deep run in last year's Main Event (24th) flatted from the cutoff and the big came along as well.

The flop came {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{10-Clubs} and the big checked, prompting an 1,100 c-bet from Jarvis. Bardah again called and the big folded.

Both players checked the {4-Spades} turn, however, when the {4-Clubs} completed the board, Jarvis fired 2,550 and Bardah called.

Bardah: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Jarvis: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}

Chop pot!

We will continue to keep an eye on these two and see if they can have a repeat performance of last year's Main Event and make a run at another WSOP gold bracelet.

Jarvis will be going for his second bracelet as he just recently won Event #40: No-Limit Hold'em / Six Handed a few days prior, which was good for a cool $808,538.
