Zobian Applies Pressure
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jimmy D'Ambrosio raised to 20,000 from middle position, Aram Zobian then three-bet to 42,000. D'Ambrosio told the table that he doesn't usually tank but he has a real tough decision on his hands. After a considerable amount of time passed D'Ambrosio made the call. Before the flop Zobian asked how many chips D'Ambrosio had, he replied that he wasn't sure "but you better have a hand if you plan on betting."
The dealer fanned a flop of 7♥8♠6♦. D'Ambrosio checked, and Zobian bet 20,000. After some deliberation, D'Ambrosio folded A♠K♥ face up, to which tablemate Phil Hellmuth told D'Ambrosio he should have shoved preflop against Zobian.
