Vermont Poker Classic to benefit Make-a-Wish foundation

Amateurs and professionals alike sat shoulder to shoulder Sunday as the cards were dealt at the second annual Make-A-Wish Vermont Poker Classic.

TAP - In no-limit games, to wager all of one's money in one bet.
STAND OFF - To call a raise. "Opener raises, I stand off".
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".
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
DEAD MAN'S HAND - Generically: two pair, aces and eights. Specifically: the black aces, black eights and nine of diamonds. The hand Wild Bill Hickok was holding when he was shot to death.
RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
