Mothes Chips Up; Kalkan Chips Down
Level 3
: 200/400, 400 ante
The dealer had just rushed away the board and Pierre Mothes was shipped a seizable pot even though his 
was only good enough for ace-king high on a queen-high board.
According to Mothes, he had three-bet preflop and continued for 2,500 on a 
flop with two spades. His opponent raised to 7,500 and Mothes called. The 
turn was checked and Mothes called a bet worth 17,000 on the 
river to get shown 
for a bluff gone wrong.
While Mothes chipped up, the trend for Ismail Kalkan went into the exact opposite direction. Facing the shove by Patricke Zehnder on the 
river, Kalkan reluctantly folded and was shown the 
for a set of tens.
