Hometown Hero Lehr Enters the Fray

Level 3 : 100/200, 200 ante

With five cashes at this year's WSOP in Las Vegas, and $3,488,190 in lifetime tournament winnings, it's no surprise to see Bossier City native Keith Lehr has taken his seat in the Southern Poker Open. Lehr started his career in Bossier City and is remembered fondly (if somewhat irreverently) by the locals.

Lehr holds two WSOP championship bracelets and one WSOP Circuit ring. His cashes this summer included a 599th-place finish in the Main Event for $24,560, a 13th-place finish in the Millionaire Maker event for $75,407, and a third-place finish for $73,333 in the Heads-Up NL event.

Famous for putting his glass eye on top of his chip stack when moving all in, Lehr will no doubt be one to watch this weekend.
