Messere Finishes Kalas Off
Level 32
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 0 ante
Owen Messere limped on the button and Kane Kalas checked his option in the big blind.
Both players checked on the 9?5?6? flop and then Kalas led out for 25,000 on the 4? turn. Messere announced he was all in and Kalas quickly called all in for approximately 140,000 to put himself at risk.
Kane Kalas: 6?3? 
Owen Messere: 9?4?
Owen held the lead with a turned two pair, but would need to fade a lot of outs against Kalas’ opened-ended straight flush draw to go along with his pair of sixes.
The K? river bricked out for Kalas, however, eliminating him and sending Messere to the quarter finals.
