Ludovic Geilich raised in the hijack to 17,000 and Shengchao Zhu in the big blind called.
The flop came J♦6♠8♠ and both players checked.
Zhu put the pressure on Geilich and bet out 17,000 on the turn of J♥ and Geilich called.

Ludovic Geilich: 10♥10♦
Shengchao Zhu: A♠4♦
The dealer announced, "Tens and jacks," and Geilich raked the pot.
