New London Based Online Poker Site
You may have heard of the Poker Million, a poker event that guarantees a million dollars in the prize pool; one online poker room has decided to up that to Poker Trillion - at least in the name. PokerTrillion.com is a London based online poker site that just recently launched, offering live tournament qualifiers online, with plenty of prize packages to pay for the seats and entry fees. In addition the site will subside up to 50% of the entry fee to major land based poker tournaments in Europe, something other sites do not do.

Poker glossary:
- FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- 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.
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
- TOP TWO PAIR - In flop games, having hole cards that make the highest possible two pair hand.
- SPLIT [OPENERS] - In draw poker, to discard one or more openers, usually to draw to a straight or flush. Normally requires the opener to declare the act and retain the discards so that the act of opening can later be validated.
