With the board showing Heart QDiamond JDiamond 9Club A on the turn and roughly 60K already in the pot, the player in the small blind checks, and Javier Zarco moves all in from middle position for 40,000.

The player on the button tanks for a long time, until eventually somebody calls for a clock. At that point, the player calls, and after a bit of thinking, the small blind also calls.

The river card is the Club 5, and both players quickly check. All three players show their cards:

Button:  Club QClub 8  (pair of queens)
Small Blind:  Diamond ASpade 10  (pair of aces)
Javier Zarco:  Spade QHeart J  (two pair, queens and jacks)

Zarco wins the pot with his two pair to triple up in chips.

Javier Zarco  –  180,000  (90 bb)
