Inside the Poker Tour - 30 - From Monte Carlo

This week we are in Monaco for the Monte Carlo Millions. It is a time capsule for me as I first came here in 1978 and still remember my sticker shock when I had to pay 20 dollars for a glass of orange juice…

Useful poker information:

OUT - [1] A card that will improve your hand, often substantially. A hand with many OUTS is preferable to a hand with only 1 or 2. [2] Folded, ineligible to bet or win this hand. "I'm out" is often a synonym for "I fold".
REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
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.
COMMUNITY CARDS - Cards that are available for every player to use in making a hand. Usually dealt face up somewhere in the middle of the table.
ON THE COME - A situation where the player does not have a complete hand but hopes to make one if the right cards come up.
OPEN-HANDED - A category of games characterized by a part of each player's hand being exposed.
