Another Showdown!

Nenad Medic completed in the small blind and John "Tex" Barch checked his option.

Both players checked the flop and turn, and the board looked like this: {J-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}.

Medic led for 30,000 and Barch quickly called.

"Two pair," Medic said.

Barch quickly showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Spades} followed by {8-Spades}{7-Spades} for a set of queens, Medic mucked and Barch won the pot.

Tex Straightens Out Medic

Nenad Medic limped from under the gun, John "Tex" Barch limped his button, Klinghammer Thibaut folded his small blind and Trai Dang checked his option.

The dealer flopped {Q-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} and the action checked to Barch who bet 60,000. Dang folded, but Medic called.

Both players checked the {A-Spades} on the turn and Medic checked a third time after the {8-Hearts} rivered. Barch quickly reached for chips and bet 80,000. Medic tanked momentarily before painstakingly making the call.

"Straight," Barch said as soon as Medic's chips hit the felt.

Indeed his {9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} straightened out on the river and he was shipped the 200,000-chip put to push back over a million chips.

Slowing Down

The action is really slowing down over here. Trai "Danny" Dang just closed his eyes promping John "Tex" Barch to blurt, "Wake up Danny!"

'Wake up Danny' is one of Dang's manny nicknames, and it's the first thing many friends on the rail have said to him.

One for the Shorty

Klinghammer Thibaut has been short since four-handed began and has been very patient at the table.

In a recent hand Nenad Medic limped in from under the gun, Thibaut completed from the small blind and Trai Dang checked his option.

All the players checked the flop ({K-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{8-Spades}) and the turn ({4-Clubs}). After the {3-Spades} rivered Thibaut led for 40,000. Dang got out of the way and Medic called.

Thibaut showed {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{3-Hearts} for eights full of fours and took down the pot to chip up to 775,000 chips.

"I'm here baby!"

Joining the rail now is 2008 November Niner David "Chino" Rheem. He came running around the corner yelling:

"I'm here baby! Wake up Danny (Dang)!"

As you can tell he is here to rail his friend Trai "Danny" Dang.

"This s*** could take a while," he said. "That's ok though."

Yes, Chino, this could take a while.
