Dowling Down, but not Out

Chris Dowling was down to a mere 1,050 after doubling up Pat Treacy -- Treacy was holding {K-?} {Q-?} on a board with two more kings on it, and a very unhappy Dowling mucked.

The very next hand there was a raise from Johannes Zacharias under the gun and a call from the next player along; Dowling called all in from the small blind and when Zacharias bet again on the {J-Hearts} {7-Clubs} {8-Hearts} flop, the other caller passed and they were on their backs.

Zacharias: {A-?} {A-?}
Dowling: {J-Spades} {10-Diamonds}

A blank on the turn but a nine on the river made Dowling a straight, and he was back up to just over 4,000.
