Kalkan Denied Massive Chip Up with Unlikely River Chop
Dimitrios Farmakoulis opened for 7,000 from the hijack and Ismail Kalkan called from the cutoff as well as the small blind and Furkan Beg in the big blind.
The flop came 
and action checked around. The turn was the 
and it was certainly an action card. Players checked to Kalkan in the cutoff who put in a pot-sized bet of 31,000. While the small blind called, Beg called and Farmakoulis deliberated for nearly a minute before going all in for 82,000. Kalkan snap-called while beg sat there in agony, wondering what to do. The floor was eventually called and Beg folded 
face up.
Dimitrios Farmakoulis: 
Ismail Kalkan: 
Kalkan was in prime position to eliminate Farmakoulis and take down a massive pot but the Greek would be spared as the 
arrived on the river, resulting in a chopped pot.
