Texan knows his Hold'em at WSOPC

He might have been out of state, but Andrew Hoechstetter of Houston, Texas, was in his element Thursday night, when he took down Event 8 at the World Series of Poker Circuit Bayou Poker Challenge in New Orleans.

The 39-year-old salesman won the $500 No-Limit Hold'em event in the early hours this morning.

The Bayou Poker Challenge's eighth tournament saw 387 entrants, who swelled the collective prize pool to nearly $190,000.

All was said and done in about four hours at the final table, with Hoechstetter claiming a chip lead when the action came down to three players. He slowly proved unstoppable, finally knocking Matt "Cub" Culberson out in heads-up play.

The final results are as follows:
