Don't Mess With Tex

Don't mess with Texas.
Don't mess with Texas.

Nenad Medic opened to 85,000 on the button and John "Tex" Barch called out of the small blind.

The flop fell {7-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} and Barch check-called 125,000 from Medic.

Both players checked the {q-Spades} on the turn and after the {3-Clubs} rivered Barch announced pot then slid 450,000 into the pot.

Medic jumped up in his chair and let out a long sigh.

"Sick, sick hand," he said under his breath. "What do you have you?"

"You call?" Tex said, pretending to start opening his hand.

"No, no," Medic returned.

After a few minutes of deliberation, Medic finally brought himself to fold and tabled aces with the missed, nut diamond draw.

Tex showed us all {8-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} with a Lone Star sized grin and raked in the pot chipping back up to 1,860,000.

Thibaut Doubles, Still Short

Klinghammer Thibaut was down to his last 200,000 chips when John "Tex" Barch limped in from the button. Thibaut raised pot to 120,000 and the action folded back to Barch who called.

Thibaut's hand was suspended in the air with his last 80,000 and he dropped the chips in as soon as the dealer fanned {K-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Spades}.

"Alright," Tex sighed. "I call."

Thibaut happily opened {A-Spades}{A-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{10-Spades} and Barch needed help with {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}{7-Spades}{4-Diamonds}.

The board ran {3-Hearts}, {6-Hearts} are Thibaut's aces held doubling him to a little more than 400,000. He is still our resident short stack however.

No Quit Nenad

Nenad Medic
Nenad Medic

Action folded to Nenad Medic who completed from the small blind. John "Tex" Barch checked his option and the dealer flopped {Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{10-Clubs}.

Medic check-called 50,000 from Barch and both players checked the {5-Clubs} on the turn.

The {4-Spades} rivered and Medic led for 75,000. Barch folded and Medic was shipped the pot.

Even though Medic lost a big pot before the dinner break, there is no quit in Mr. Medic. He's now back up to 925,000
