Zachmanidis Can't Push Zhao Around

Level 2
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante

Georgios Zachmanidis opened from early position and Cheng Zhao three-bet to 1,500 from the hijack. When the action got back to Zachmanidis, he called.
They both saw a flop of 6?3?7? where Zachmanidis checked, Zhao bet 1,300, Zachmanidis raised to 4,500, and Zhao called.
On the 6? turn, Zachmanidis led out for 6,000, and after thinking for around 30 seconds, Zhao called.
A 4? landed on the river and Zachmanidis checked, then Zhao quickly checked back.
Zachmanidis showed A?K? for ace-high, but Zhao held 8?8? for a pair of eights and won the pot.
