D'Ambrosio Talks His Way Into the Right Call
An early position player raised to 28,000 and both Jimmy D'Ambrosio and the big blind came along.
The flop was 
, the big blind checked and the original raiser bet 37,000. Only D'Ambrosio called.
On the turn 
, the early position player check-called a bet of 27,000 from D'Ambrosio.
Things got interesting on the 
river to put four hearts out there. The early position player sized up to 70,000 and sent D'Ambrosio deep into the tank.
D'Ambrosio gave his opponent an intense staredown before starting his patented table talk.
"Blocker bet, right?" he inquired, to no response from his opponent.
"If I put you all in would you get excited or would you shift in your seat?" asked D'Ambrosio.
"Let me see your throat," he said next, as his opponent humored him.
Finally, D'Ambrosio settled on a call and his opponent tabled 
for top pair. D'Ambrosio had that beat though with his 
for a straight and picked up a nice pot.
