From CardPlayer magazine's live updates from the $5000 buy-in No Limit Hold Em tournament:
Phil Hellmuth raises to $75,000 preflop. Eugene Todd reraises to $220,000 total. Hellmuth asks Todd, "Are you trying to donk off your stack with ace jack?". Hellmuth proceeds to fold and shows A-Q. Todd just grins as he flips over A-J. Hellmuth, of course, jumps up from the table in disbelief.
That's gonna be fun to watch on TV.

And what, pray tell, might that mean in English?
"donk" is slang for "donkey". A "donkey" is an extremely bad poker play(er).
