Dotson Traps with Kings
Oddschecker competition winner Chris Dotson has just taken a big pot at the expense of Maria Lampropulos. Arriving at the table with play on the flop, Dotson later explained to PokerNews how the previous action had unfolded. It began with a preflop open, which Lampropulos three-bet in position, before Dotson smooth-called in the blinds and the initial raiser folded.
On the 
flop, both players checked and they saw a 
turn. Dotson check-called an 8,000 bet and the dealer put a 
on the river. Dotson decided to lead at this point, making it 12,000 to get to showdown and Lampropulos went in to the tank for a couple of minutes before putting the chips in.
Dotson turned over 
and Lampropulos double-checked her cards before sending them into the muck. She is down to half of starting stack now, while Dotson gets a boost.
