Dowdy walked right into the trap of Romeo who flopped a set of aces, but had outs to crack the set with a ten to make Broadway. The 10♣ came right in on the turn to give Dowdy the lead with his Broadway straight. Romeo was unfazed, and said "Don't worry we'll get there on the river". He was exactly right as the river brought the 10♦ to give him a full house, aces full of tens to secure the double up.
