Action folded around to Jimmy D'Ambrosio in the small blind and he limped before calling a raise to 3,000 from Henry Chan in the big blind. "You know I'm gonna lead out on any flop right," joked D'Ambrosio as the two friends from a Chicago home game prepared to battle in a heads-up pot.
D'Ambrosio kept his word following the 4♥5♥10♠ flop by tossing 3,500 into the middle. Chan stuck around to see a turn.
The Ax turn saw D'Ambrosio slow down, checking to Chan, who bet 10,000. With a "not today Henry" D'Ambrosio moved all in with the covering stack. Chan called off for his remaining 32,000 to put himself at risk.
Henry Chan: 5x4x 
Jimmy D'Ambrosio: 3♣2♣
D'Ambrosio had turned the wheel to leave Chan needing to fill up to survive. The 9♦ river kept the straight best to send last year's 31st place finisher out short of the money while propelling D'Ambrosio up the chip counts.
