Alan Kelleher
Alan Kelleher

Pat Dowling just won a hand off of Alan Kelleher and shortly after the favor was returned.

Dowling opened to 260,000 from early position and the action folded around to Kelleher in the small blind. Kelleher three-bet to 660,000 and Dowling called.

Dowling with {k-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flopped top pair on the {4-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{q-Clubs} flop, however, Kelleher was in better shape with an overpair with {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}. Dowling bet 400,000 and for 600,000 more after Kelleher declared himself all in for 1 million.

Kelleher's hand held after the {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {6-Clubs} on the river were of no help to Dowling.
