WSOP Serves Up $50,000 Poker H.O.R.S.E.
If you thought $10,000 was a bit much to play in a poker game, then get ready for five times as much as the World Series of Poker sets up its $50,000 buy-in event, the first time the WSOP has hosted an event with a bigger buy in than ten grand. Harrahs and the WSOP hope to answer critics with the event who claim that limiting the main event to No Limit Texas Holdem only shows who is master of one poker discipline, not all.
H.O.R.S.E. is an acronym that covers five different poker games, so the winner of this event will show themselves to be a master of much more than just Holdem…

Poker lingo:
- RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
- MIDDLE POSITION - Betting positions approximately halfway around the table from the first player to act.
- BELLY BUSTER - An inside straight draw. Same as GUTSHOT.
- STRAIGHT - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence but not in suit.
- FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
