Dodds Brutally Eliminated

[user75032]

Joel Dodds eliminated.

Michael Pedley raised to 2,600 preflop. From the small blind, Joel "StrongPlay" Dodds made the strong play and reraised to 5,200. Pedley called.

The flop was a fairly harmless {3-Hearts}

{3-Hearts}

{9-Spades}

{10-Spades}

. Dodds let out for 6,000 before Pedley moved all in. Dodds snap-called and tabled {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{K-Spades}

. Pedley could only muster {J-Spades}

{J-Spades}

{J-Hearts}

. The turn {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

missed them both, but the river {j-Clubs}

{j-Clubs}

was a cruel dagger through Dodds' tournament heart. It made a set for Pedley and sent Dodds to the rail.

After the hand, Dodds wandered over to Grant Levy's table.

"You still in?" Levy asked.

"Does it look like I'm still in?" Dodds replied. He then proceeded to relate his bad beat story to Levy. He didn't even offer Dodds a dollar to hear it.

Pedley is up to 68,000.
