Level 19 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Borja Gross was forced all-in on the big blind and Christian Pham raised to 35,000 from middle position. From the cutoff, Yueqi Zhu went all-in for 228,000 and action went back around to Pham who went into the tank for a bit and finally showed {10-Spades}{10-Hearts} as he folded.
