2006 WSOP: Poker Pros Losing Ground in WSOP

Casino poker language:
- BIG BOBTAIL - An open-ended 4-card straight flush.
- SEMI-BLUFF - To bluff with a come hand that figures to win if it hits.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- 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.
- DRAW OUT - To catch a card that improves your situation from a losing hand to a winning hand, especially when you beat someone holding a hand that usually figures to win.
