Brian Tate raised from the hijack, Yueqi Zhu three-bet from the button and Tate called.

The dealer fanned a flop of 2♥Q♦3♦. Zhu bet and Tate check-called, then both players checked the 3♥ turn.

The 6♠ river didn't bring more action, so Tate revealed A♥9♠ for ace-high, but Zhu with A♣10♦ had the best kicker to win the pot.
