"Strong Play" the Latest to Fall

Joel Dodds is out.
Joel Dodds is out.
Joel "Strong Play" Dodds was looking to make a big splash here in Sydney. Unfortunately for Dodds, he was unable to make even small waves by coming back for Day 2. He opened a pot for 1,300 and was called by one player before Leo Boxell made a massive all-in overbet from the big blind. Dodds was the only one to make the call (calling for about 9,000 total) and found himself in bad shape.

Dodds: {A-Spades} {Q-Hearts}
Boxell: {A-Diamonds} {A-Clubs}

The board was all babies, {7-Hearts} {5-Spades} {6-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {5-Diamonds}. Boxell collected the pot to increase his stack to 49,000; Dodds is off to find something else to do with his time for the next five days.
