Action was picked up on the flop with the board showing J♠8♠6♣.

Albert Daher bet from the small blind, and Kane Kalas raised from the cutoff. Adam Friedman folded on the button, when Daher three-bet to put Kalas all in. Kalas quickly called to put his tournament life at risk.

Kane Kalas: K♦K♣J♦2♣ All in
Albert Daher: A♣8♦6♥4♦

Kalas would need to improve after Daher flopped two pair with a low draw. But the board ran out 7♦ on the turn, and 10♦ on the river, Daher's two pair and ace-four low was best, and he eliminated Kalas from the tournament.
