Filtz Doubles Through, Retakes Lead

Level 30 : 40,000/80,000, 10,000 ante

It started quietly, like most of the hands of this heads-up battle, with a raise from the button. This time it was Matt Jarvis making it 165,000 to go. Justin Filtz responded by reraising to 480,000, and Jarvis didn't waste much time before announcing he was all in. Filtz called right away. Cards on their backs...

Filtz {9-Diamonds}{9-Spades}
Jarvis {4-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Filtz was all in for approximately 3.4 million. The five community cards came {2-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, and Filtz's hand had held. He retakes the chip lead with that one, now with 6.8 million while Jarvis slips under 3.2 million.
