Georgios Zachmanidis opened from early position and Cheng Zhao three-bet to 1,500 from the hijack. When the action got back to Zachmanidis, he called.
They both saw a flop of 6♠3♦7♥ where Zachmanidis checked, Zhao bet 1,300, Zachmanidis raised to 4,500, and Zhao called.
On the 6♣ turn, Zachmanidis led out for 6,000, and after thinking for around 30 seconds, Zhao called.
A 4♥ landed on the river and Zachmanidis checked, then Zhao quickly checked back.
Zachmanidis showed A♣K♠ for ace-high, but Zhao held 8♣8♥ for a pair of eights and won the pot.
