Pierre Calamusa opened to 700 from early position and was called by Maxime Pialat in the cutoff before Nick Botman reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 3,000. Only Calamusa called.
On the K♥9♥7♥ flop, Calamusa check-called a bet of 1,400 from Botman.
The 8♠ turn was checked through by both players.
The 5♥ rolled off on the river, completing a potential one-card flush, and Botman fired out a bet of 3,400 when action was checked to him.
Calamusa went into the tank and took a couple of minutes before making the call.
Botman turned over A♣J♦ for ace-high and Calamusa had K♣10♣ for top pair, sending a nice pot to Calamusa.
