Joe De Lucia

Joe De Lucia, a regular in the Tampa room, has enjoyed a nice Flight A so far owning a stack of about 105,000 at this point. He was in position to add another pile to his stack, too, when he opened to 1,200 and the opponent to his direct left jammed for about 10,000. De Lucia called and saw some good news.

Joe De Lucia: AdKc
All-in opponent: Ah5s

Flop: 9c7c6c — The all-in opponent got outs to a gutshot straight, but De Lucia added a flush draw to go with his ace-high

Turn: 9c7c6c8h — The opponent hit the straight and De Lucia needed to improve.

River: 9c7c6c8hTd — Straight on the board. No blood, the pot was chopped and De Lucia remained at just over 100,000.
