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.
