Jerry Wong raises under the gun to 180,000, leaving himself just 25,000 behind, and Denys Shafikov calls from the cutoff.

Both players check to the river on a board of Diamond JClub 7Diamond 2Club QHeart 4, and Wong uses three of his Time Chips to tank for nearly two minutes before he checks. Shafikov checks behind, and Wong shows Diamond 8Diamond 3 for a missed flush draw — eight high.

Shafikov turns over Diamond ASpade 10 to win the pot with his ace, and Wong is down to less than a single big blind.

Denys Shafikov  –  2,300,000  (58 bb)
Jerry Wong  –  25,000  (<1 bb)
