D'Ambrosio Holds on to Double Off Schutten
Level 10
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Brek Schutten raised to 25,000 from the button and Daniel Negreanu called in the small blind. Jimmy D'Ambrosio, from the big blind, then moved all in for around 105,000, Schutten reraised, and Negreanu got out of the way.
"Protection," D'Ambrosio said as he turned over A♥8♠. Schutten had K♣Q♦ and needed to improve to secure the knockout but found no help on the 10♥3♠3♦5♠7♥ board as D'Ambrosio doubled up.
