Youth Continues to Dominate WSOP Circuit
The latest winner of a World Series of Poker Circuit event is once more in the twenty-something set, as Kosta “Gus” Sengos, 23, takes home the win and the ring with a victory at the WSOP Horseshoe Casino Council Bluffs Circuit event. $219,576 plus a $10,000 seat in this year’s WSOP Main Event goes to Gus, but it is hard to tell which he is happier about - that he won, or that he got to play for free. Gus of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, won his seat playing in a poker bar league, turning that minor victory into a major triumph.

Poker lingo:
- ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
- LIVE BLIND - The last and largest blind bet may or may not be LIVE. If LIVE, the blind bettor has the option of "raising" his own blind in the event the bet is called around to him. This is normal, and is sometimes referred to as "blinds are live".
- 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.
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
- 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.)
