LAS VEGAS–Why is it that any semi-known from Texas gets the nickname Tex? Last year we saw it with John/Derek Barch … who is now known simply as Tex Barch.
Lloyd Shinn is doing well in the $1,500 NLH event. He\’s in 11th chip position with 23 left. But have any of you ever called him Lloyd \”Tex\” Shinn before?
(Mel \”semi-Brit\” Judah and Matthew Hilger are also still alive.)
I guess Lloyd joins some good homeboy company:
Tex Brunson
Tex Cloutier
Tex Gordon
Tex Gowen
Tex Williams
Tex \”Todd\” Brunson
Tex Beal
Tex Fawcett
et al.
