Strelitz Sneaks Into the Chip Lead

Russell Thomas raised to 210,000 from the cutoff and Daniel Strelitz defended from the big blind. Both players checked the {7-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{4-Hearts} flop, and then Russell called a bet of 315,000 from Strelitz on the {K-Diamonds} turn.

When the {A-Clubs} was put out on the river, Strelitz led out for 865,000. Thomas thought for a bit before making the call, but mucked when Strelitz rolled over {A-Diamonds}{K-Clubs} for two pair.
