Strebkov and Wong Battle With Their Big Stacks
No-Limit Hold'em
Denis Strekov raised to 70,000 in the cutoff and was called in the big blind by Jerry Wong.
On a flop of 
, Wong check-called a bet of 150,000 from Strebov to see the 
fall on the turn.
Wong checked again, and Strebkov cranked up his bet size to 375,000. Again, Wong called and a big pot was brewing.
On the river 
, Wong checked once more and Strebkov didn't stop betting. He pushed forward 500,000, to which Wong quickly folded.
Not long after though, the duo would battle again...
No-Limit 2-7 Single Draw
Wong opened to 100,000 from first position and was three-bet to 400,000 by Strebkov on the button.
Wong then went deep into the tank before moving all-in for a little under 1.3 million chips.
Of note, Shanmukha Meruga was in the small blind with just 60,000 chips, so this bet meant business with potential payout implications.
Strebkov thought for about three minutes before ultimately folding and returning some of the chips from the previous hand to Wong.
