Antigua Pressures USA To Accept WTO Gambling Decision
It’s David versus Goliath in a battle to accept the legitimacy of online gambling, and fortunately David has the WTO on his side. Antigua want the USA to comply with the World Trade Organisation’s historic ruling, handed down last year, which stated that the USA was discriminating against sovereign countries like Antigua that allowed Internet gambling companies to operate on their soil.

- RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
