Chen Gets Paid with Two Pair

Four players saw a flop after Wang Wei Chen and Duy Anh Nguyen called from middle position, Raymond Chou joined from the hijack, and Juhwan Kim checked his option in the big blind.
The flop came T♦ 8♥ 5♦ , and action checked through.
On the 8♦ turn, Chen led out for 1,000. Nguyen and Kim quickly folded, but Chou made the call.
The river brought the J♥ , and Chen bet another 1,000. Chou, visibly curious, asked “What do you have?!” before making the call. Chen revealed K♥ T♥ for two pair, tens and eights, which was enough to take the pot as Chou mucked his hand.

The dealer spread 5♣ 8♥ A♦ , and both players opted to check through. On the 3♥ turn, Chen checked again, and this time Chou put out a 1,100 bet. Chen called.
When the 3♦ river completed the board, Chen led out for 4,000. After a short pause, Chou made the call and was rewarded with the pot, turning over A♠ 6♣ for top pair. Chen's 6♠ 4♠ missed completely, and his river bluff was picked off.
