Kung Outwits Pak

One four-bet flop war just played out between Valeriy Pak and Yu Chien Kung, ending in a knockout.
Kung made it 1,200 to go from the cutoff and Chien Chih Weng called on the button, as did Valeriy Pak from the small blind.
The battle of wits started on the 6♣ 5♦ T♠ flop between the male players. Pak checked it to Kung, who continued for 2,500. Weng stepped down. Pak raised it to 6,000.
However, it didn't deter Kung from re-raising it to 12,000. After thinking for a while, Pak took it further to 21,500, sending his opponent into the tank. It took Kung around one minute to eventually elected to call.
The dealer delivered a board-pairing T♦ on the turn, where Pak fired a chunky barrel of 11,000. Kung stuck around.
A Q♥ fell on the river, Pak continued his aggression with a shove for 19,500. Just after a few seconds, Kung elected to drop in a call.
"Nice call," Pak said right after Kung made his move.
Kung tabled 6♥ 6♦ for a full house, leaving Pak walking out of the field with his bluff holding 9♣ 8♠.
