Small Rush for Dowd
Cory Dowd just hit a little bit of a rush over on Table 37 in the Pavilion. On the first hand of his two-hand rush, a player moved all in for 1,100 before Dowd was to act on the flop of 
. Dowd made the call and then the other opponent left to act folded his hand. Dowd held the 
and was up against the all-in player's 
. The turn and river blanked off with the 
and 
to give Dowd the pot and elimination.
Two hands later, a player in middle position raised to 150 before the cutoff seat flat-called. Dowd was in the big blind and reraised to 500. The original raiser folded and then the cutoff hemmed and hawed over his decision. After a minute or so, he tossed in the call, leaving himself with only 400 chips remaining.
The flop came down 
and Dowd bet 400 in order to put his opponent all in. The player mulled over the decision again, looking like he just didn't want to go bust. He did toss the chips in though and actually held the best hand with his pocket deuces. Dowd held the 
for a boatload of outs, any ace, king, ten or nine would do it.
The turn gave Dowd more outs when the 
his and now any card above an eight would give him the pot. The river was the 
and did it for Dowd, counterfeiting the all-in player's hand and giving Dowd a better two pair with an ace kicker.
After those two hands, Dowd is now up to 14,500 chips.
