Phil Hellmuth, one of the most popular poker pros, was recently eliminated from the World Series of Poker main event.

CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
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.
OPEN - Make the first bet in a hand, especially in draw poker.
SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
POT - The total amount of money bet so far in a hand.
