Dowdy Backdoors a Flush to Stay Alive
Level 32
: 150,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Pat Steele moved all in on the button and Ronnie Dowdy called off his remaining 1,670,000.
Ronnie Dowdy: 
Pat Steele: 
Steele was behind but the 
flop left him two cards away from becoming the MSPT champion. The 
turn left Dowdy needing to hit a ten or a spade to avoid elimination. The 
river completed Dowdy's flush and he double up to stay alive.
