Jerry Wong: XxXx / 8xAxQx2x

Carlos Chadha completed and Jerry Wong called. They checked fourth street and Wong then bet the next two streets. Chadha called once but folded on sixth.

Jerry Wong: XxXx / Ax8xKx7x / Xx
Carlos Chadha: XxXx / 6x3x2xJx / Xx

Two further hands ended on fifth street with them trading chips before Wong completed with an ace and Chadha called with a trey. Chadha bet his lead on fourth and Wong raised for his opponent to call. Chadha bet the lead on fifth against a king and check-called sixth. They checked seventh and Wong tabled his 7x6x4x for an eighty-seven to drag in another pot.

While the hand played out, Chadha mentioned "You know that this only encourages me to play slower?"

Wong instantly replied "I don't think you can."

Chadha then inquired whether or not he would mention having an edge to Talal Shakerchi as the verbal encounter continued. Wong confirmed he had already played a lot of heads-up Razz with Shakerchi and suggested "I think you should put on some music and just relax".
