Gowen Defeats Dodds

Joel Dodds Eliminated
Joel Dodds Eliminated
The wildcard entrant in this event, Clonie Gowen has proven her worth to the live team with a straight sets victory over one of the hottest players in the country in Joel "Strong Play" Dodds.

After Gowen raised the button, Dodds popped it up from the big blind to 1,250. Gowen thought for a moment before making the call.

The flop came down a monotone {A-Clubs}{10-Clubs}{7-Clubs} and Dodds fired out 1,550. Gowen stretched back in her chair before declaring herself all in with Dodds instantly calling off his last chips.

Gowen: {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Dodds: {Q-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

Dodds had a bare flush draw and found himself drawing dead when the {7-Diamonds} paired the board on the turn. The meaningless river was the {5-Spades} and Dodds departs to leave Gowen to advance to round two.

The online guys are suddenly a little quieter as the scoreboard is back to a more respectable 4-5.
