Dodds Plummeting

Joel "StrongPlay" Dodds may need to re-think his strategy here. His stack contains just 5,700 of the original 20,000 chips. The latest blow for Dodds came in a large pot that went to showdown. Dodds' opponent called a bet on a board of {A-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {5-Clubs} {4-Clubs} {7-Spades} and said "Please show me ace-jack."

"I don't have ace-jack mate," Dodds quietly replied. "I've got nothing." He mucked his hand without showing. That prompted Dodds' opponent to open {A-?} {Q-?}, allowing him to drag the pot.

"You didn't just have to hope he had ace-jack," said David Steicke. "You also had to hope he had nothing else."

After the hand Dodds was overheard to remark to Grant Levy that "maybe I should just start concentrating on my own two."
