We passed by Louis Delbrocco's table recently as the flop fell in a four-handed pot. The players in the blinds both checked and a third player decided to take a stab with a 1,250 feeler bet.
Delbrocco was the lone caller and the dealer produced the on the turn. The aggressor then slowed down by tapping the table for a check, and Delbrocco responded with a 2,000 wager of his own. Attempting to represent a made hand on the straightening and three-flushed board, the opponent check-raised to 4,000, prompting Delbrocco to tank for about a minute before ultimately flatting.
On the river, Delbrocco's opponent continued his aggressive line with a 5,000 bet, and after a brief moment to ponder his options, Delbrocco made the call.

Opponent:
Delbrocco tabled a set of tens to scoop the pot, much to the dismay of his opponent.
"Not afraid of the flush or the straight?," he asked Delbrocco incredulously. "Couldn't find a fold huh?"
"I play the player not the cards my man," replied Delbrocco, turning the needle just a bit. "Nice hand though."
