Laak Doubles Dowling

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Chris Dowling moved all in preflop from the hijack for roughly 2,475. Phil Laak was in the big blind and, after some deliberation, called.

Laak: {a-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Dowling: {10-Hearts}{9-Hearts}

The board ran out in Dowling's favor with the {8-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Hearts} and Dowling made the straight to keep him alive against a very tough pro in Laak.
