Poker champ reacts to search and seizure

The irony of it all is not lost on Richard Lee. Less than one month after accumulating more than $2,800,000 while hyping San Antonio in the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event, the civic-minded poker star Lee awoke Wednesday morning with a much lighter load but in a more unflattering local spotlight.

Poker lexicon:

LOCK - A hand that cannot be beat under any circumstances. Also: NUTS.
TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
THIRD STREET - In Stud, the third card dealt to each player.
ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
DRAWING DEAD - A draw in which it is impossible to obtain a winning hand for any of a variety of reasons: an opponent's hand is better than whatever you are drawing to, the card(s) that make your hand are out of play, or (in Hold'em) give an opponent a stronger hand even if it makes yours. Frequently used in the past tense, since one rarely knows it at the time.
SEAT POSITION - The actual seat a player has, normally numbered sequentially starting with 1 as the first seat to dealer's left. Not to be confused with POSITION in a particular pot. Typically unrelated to play of a hand but often important in peripheral aspects, e.g.: "Seats 1 and 10 are nonsmoking here", "Seat 5 has a good view of the table", "Seat 3 is in a high-traffic area".
