Deadwood Poker Tournament
With a name like the “Deadwood Shootout” it is no wonder that more than 200 poker players have signed up and put down their money to play in this tourney. Each $550 entry has gone into the prize pool, and the players will all compete, hoping to be the one to outlast the rest of the field and lay claim to the $30,000 first place prize money. Some players are playing on a lark, some have high hopes, and for some, this is how they make a living…

Useful poker information:
- BUTTON - A distinctive token held by the player sitting in the theoretical dealer's position, when a house dealer is used. The button rotates around the table so that every player has an opportunity to be the last to act. Also, "THE BUTTON" can refer to the player who currently has the button. ("I was the button and called the blind".) Synonyms: BUCK, PUCK.
- DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
- FLAT CALL - To call a bet. Emphasizes that the caller did not raise.
- LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
- FACE CARD - A jack, queen or king (a card with a face on it, not joker).
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
