Armato Decimates Dowling
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Chris Dowling raised from early position to 12,000, only to be faced with a three-bet by Roberto Armato in the big blind to 36,000. Dowling called.
On the J♥8♣4♣ flop, Armato slid out a bet of 25,000, only to be met with a raise by Dowling to 60,000. Armato called.
The turn rolled off the K♦, and both players checked their option.
The 8♥ river completed the board. Armato slid out a bet of 75,000, and Dowling moved all in for 260,000.
Armato went into the tank for quite some time, but eventually made the call. Dowling showed A♥10♠ for the ace-high bluff, while Armato had A♣K♥ for two pair, kings and eights.
Dowling was left with just 38,000, and was seen exiting the tournament area shortly after.
