Curse of the Commentator: Messere on Fumes

Level 39 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Owen Messere
Owen Messere

After just waxing lyrical about Owen Messere, the old curse of the commentator struck as Faraz Jaka reduced the Brit to fumes in a massive pot.

Action was caught on the river, with around 720,000 in the pot on the 573J5 board. Messere, the bigger stack, jammed. Jaka, who had 736,000 behind, quickly counted his chips and wasted little time in calling.

Messere audibly exhaled as he tabled 42, which missed its huge combo draw. Jaka tabled K7 to take in the likely match-deciding pot.

PokerNews will get the full action of the hand and will report back to fill in the gaps.

Messere was visibly shaken, with his hand trembling as he stacked up his remaining chips.

UPDATE @ 19:02: Jaka recapped the hand to PokerNews after his victory.

jaka opened to 25,000 from the button and saw Messere call.

Messere check-raised to 80,000 over a bet of 25,000 on the 573 flop. Jaka called.

Messere overbet to 240,000 on the J turn and was called once more.

Messere jammed on the 5 river. Jaka made a quick call for his stack of 736,000.

Jaka's K7 bested Messere's 42.
