Ascenzi Spikes River to Double via Dowling
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Action folded to Teddy Ascenzi on the button, who moved all in for 12,000. Irish Open ambassador Chris Dowling was in the big blind, and after asking for a count, made the call.
Teddy Ascenzi: K♥Q♦ 
Chris Dowling: A♠9♣
Ascenzi was behind, but the Q♣9♠6♦ flop but him into the lead with top pair queens, while Dowling had second pair nines.
The A♣ rolled off on the turn to propel Dowling into the lead with two pair, and Ascnezi tapped the table and was out of his chair. However the Q♥ hit on the river to give Ascenzi trip queens and send him a timely double-up.
