2006 WSOP: WSOP Main Event Day Six
It’s getting down to the wire at the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event. This is Event 39 in the 37th annual WSOP, and the starting field of over 8,700 players has pared down to less than a hundred. With nearly all the big-name pros busting out, such as Doyle Brunson, Chris Ferguson, Annie Duke, Joe Hachem, Greg Raymer and an all-time crowd favorite, Daniel Negreanu, it seems almost certain that an amateur is going to take on the $12 million this year…

Poker slang:
- RAISE - To wager more than the minimum required to call, forcing other players to put in more money as well.
- ON TILT - Playing worse (usually, more aggressively) than usual because a player has become emotionally upset.
- 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.
- BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
- COMMUNITY CARDS - Cards that are available for every player to use in making a hand. Usually dealt face up somewhere in the middle of the table.
- BARN - A FULL HOUSE, three of a kind and a pair.
