Tens and Eights No Good?

We pick up a hand on the river between Amnon Filippi and Lee Markholt. The board reads {4-Diamonds} {A-Diamonds} {10-Spades} {8-Spades} {4-Hearts}. With the action on him, Filippi makes a pot-sized bet of 8,000. This sends Markholt into the tank, muttering to himself, "I can beat tens and eights."

Filippi joins in, "You can beat tens and eights and you haven't called yet?"

Markholt eventually folds, and Arturo Diaz tells Amnon, "That's a nice bluff." Kido Pham is also watching the hand, and he implores, "Don't show, don't show." Filippi does show two of his cards only: {Q-?} {J-?}. Regardless, he gets to pull in the pot without having to show the other two.
