Nicholas Baltz

Level 4 : 300/500, 500 ante

There was about 15,000 on the river and Jimmy D'Ambrosio overbet to 18,900. His opponent was in the tank taking his time.

"It's cheaper to believe," said D'Ambrosio. "I know you're baffled."

It turns out that the player had his headphones in and didn't hear a word.

"Oh you didn't hear anything," said D'Ambrosio. "Now I gotta start all over."

His opponent folded and asked for him to show.

"I can't show," he said. "I can't, Ian over here is dying for information."

D'Ambrosio gestured to his neighbor as he dragged another pot to push over 200,000.
