2006 WSOP: Double Bubble Burst at WSOP
In Event 7 at the 2006 World Series of Poker, two ladies managed a move that could be considred lucky or unlucky, depending on how you look at it. In the $3,000 No-Limit Texas Hold ‘em event players put up three grand of their own money to compete, and at the very least wanted to finish “in the money,” as not all places have cash prizes. In poker tournaments if you finish one position before you land in the money, that is called being “on the bubble” or “bubbeling out.” For Sarah Bilney and Michele Lewis, each busted out on the bubble when they both lost their all-in hands at the same time…

Poker argot:
- 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.
- PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
- RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
- ACTION - Money that is being bet. "NO ACTION" means a hand or game has few bettors and fewer raisers. "Gimme some action" is ostensibly a plea for calls and raises.
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
