Joe Hachem Final Tables at APPT Macau
While one World Series of Poker champion wasn’t able to come to the first ever live, legal poker tournament in China, another nearly won it. Jerry Yang, the current WSOP champ, was denied Visa access to China (thanks to his status as a political refuge) but Joe Hachem, the 2005 WSOP champ, had no similar problems.

Casino poker language:
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- STAKE - The amount of a player's BUY-IN, or the amount of money they are willing to play with in a given session. Compare: BANKROLL.
- POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
- FULL HOUSE - A hand consisting of 3-of-a-kind and a (different) pair.
- OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
- MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
