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.

The flop came {A-Clubs}{8-Spades}{3-Hearts} and Filtz checked. Jarvis checked as well.

The turn was the {10-Spades} 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.

Jarvis Makes Flush, Gets Paid

Level 29 : 30,000/60,000, 10,000 ante

Justin Filtz raised to 125,000 from the small blind/button and Matt Jarvis called. The flop came {4-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{7-Spades} and Filtz led with a bet of 150,000. Jarvis called. The turn brought the {A-Diamonds} and Filtz bet 300,000. Jarvis again made the call.

The river brought the {6-Spades}. This time Filtz checked, and Jarvis pushed out a bet of 530,000. Filtz thought a moment, then called, and Jarvis quickly flipped up {7-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} for the flush. Filtz tossed his cards to the dealer, and Jarvis scooped the large pot.

Jarvis Shows Courage, Cards

Justin Filtz opened with a standard raise, Matt Jarvis called, and the flop came {4-Clubs}{J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}. Filtz bet 205,000, and Jarvis hesitated briefly before calling. The turn then brought the {10-Spades}. Filtz sat silently for a half-minute, then pushed out enough green (25,000) chips for a bet of 450,000.

Jarvis took his time responding to the bet. Finally, he announced a raise to 1.15 million. Filtz thought about 20 seconds, then folded. Jarvis immediately held up his cards for all to see -- {8-Spades}{3-Spades}!

We'll see if this instance of a player bluffing (and showing) affects the dynamic of what has already been a lengthy, well-fought heads-up battle. Jarvis is up to about 6.5 million now, and Filtz down to 4.4 million.
