Bart Dowling - Eliminated

After winning what appears to be a 300,000-chip pot, eliminating Bart Dowling, Bob Horan is far and away our chip leader here in Event 2: $550 Black-Chip Bounty NLHE Reentry.

When we arrived at the table, Horan was scooping the pot and the dealer was washing the board. According to the players at the table, Horan flopped a set of threes against Dowling's top pair with a flush draw.

Horan was apologizing to the table for tanking even though he had a very strong hand.

"I thought he had a set of eights," he admitted.

Dowling was unable to complete his flush draw or hit running cards, and is eliminated shy of the money. Horan has what looks like 370,000 chips.
