Fit for a Prince: Ballys-Paris Event Day One

The World Series of Poker Circuit has now come to the Ballys-Paris Casino in Las Vegas. This is the fourth tour stop of the 2005-06 season. The $10,000 buy-in main event attracted 134 entries. The total prize pool amounted to $1,259,600. Nine places will be paid and $453,456 will go to the winner.

This is the first WSOP Circuit event with an official host. In an effort to honor the great poker champions of the past (and future), Harrah’s Entertainment paid tribute to 1998 world poker champion Scotty ‘The Prince’ Nguyen who was designated with the role as official host of the Bally-Paris tournament.

Fittingly, after 11 hours of play on Day One, Scotty Nguyen is the chip leader in his own tournament. It’s hardly a surprise that the flamboyant Nguyen would crash his own party.

  • FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
  • MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
  • PAY STATION - A player who rarely folds, thus who frequently calls better hands and loses. Almost as much fun as a LIVE ONE.
  • POT LIMIT - A game where the maximum bet is determined by the size of the pot at the time. Note that a player wanting to raise first calls the bet, then totals the pot to determine the maximum amount he can raise.
  • BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
  • ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
