Poker argot:

ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
ALL-IN - To have all of one's chips in the pot. A player who is all-in cannot be forced out of the pot by more betting, but is only eligible to win that portion of the pot he has contributed to. Generally, a SIDE POT is created each time a player is all-in.
MARKED CARDS - Cards that have been (illegally) altered so that their value can be read from the back.
FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
