Dodds Finds a Hand in His Range

[user75032]

Joel "Strong Play" Dodds is one of the locals still alive in today's field. His mates often tease him for seeming to only play aces. Thus no one was surprised when Dodds raised to 5,400 from the button, then called all in after the Nali "Iraqi Nick" Kaselias raised from the small blind to 35,200. Dodds showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{A-Diamonds}

(of course!) against Kaselias' {K-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

{Q-Diamonds}

. The board came a harmless {J-Clubs}

{J-Clubs}

{4-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

{5-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

to give Dodds the early double-up. He now has roughly 100,000 chips, while Kaselias is down to 35,000.
