World Series of Poker Winner Settles Up
Jamie Gold won the 2006 World Series of Poker Main Event last summer, and the $12 million prize, but ran into a snag when Los Angeles-based TV producer Bruce Crispin Leyser showed up claiming he was owed half. The matter has now been resolved in an out of court settlement between both parities, although the actual dollar figure has not been released. Gold had been allowed to take half the prize money while the matter was settled, with the remaining $6 million frozen in an interest bearing account.

Poker lexicon:
- 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.
- FILL - To draw a card that makes a five-card hand (straight, flush, full house, straight flush).
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- HOYLE - Edmund Hoyle (1769-?) was the authoritative source for rules of card games. Hoyle is to card rules as Webster is to word definitions.
- WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
- 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.
