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.
