Dodd Forced to Let Go of a Big Pot
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Action was caught on the flop of 8?5?7?. According to players, Richie Allen, who was in the big blind, led out of the big blind for 90,000, and Matthew Dodd, who was in the cutoff, raised to 180,000. Allen called and the pot was around 500,000 chips going to the turn.
The turn was the 4?. Allen decided to lead again for 180,000. Dodd thought for a while and then called.
The river was the Q?. Allen bet 380,000. Dodd counted out his chips and while the bet did not put him all-in, he would not have much left behind if he called and lost. He thought for a while and then folded, sending a pot of almost 900,000 chips Allen’s way.
