Nice Shootin' Tex
John "Tex" Barch won his first bracelet here at the 2010 World Series of Poker, taking down Event #20: $1,500 Pot-Limit Omaha for $256,919. He is no stranger to Main Event success either, finishing 3rd in 2005 for $2,500,000.
Barch is off to a nice start today after opening to 625 from early position and receiving one caller from the small blind.
The flop fell and Barch's opponent check called an 1,100-chip bet.
The turned and the action went check-call again - this time the bet was 2,700.
What do you know, after the rivered the action went check-call. Barch's bet was 4,000 this time, and he tabled after the call.
His opponent mucked, and Barch is now up to 35,500 chips.
