39th World Series of Poker Starts with Championship Event
The traditional way to wrap up a season of the World Series of Poker is to play the $10,000 championship event, but this next season will be run a bit differently: they are going to start the season with a $10,000 championship event. They are still ending the WSOP with the Main Event, a $10,000 No Limit Holdem championship event, but they are planning on more than one. The first event will be a $10,000 Pot Limit championship event, and a few more events will have “championship” appended on them, all in different poker disciplines or special entry events, like the Seniors.

Poker lingo:
- DRAW - [1] A class of poker games characterized by players being dealt 5 cards face-down and later having the opportunity to replace some of the original 5. "Draw poker" and "Five-card draw" are examples of usage. [2] In stud and Hold'em games, the set of cards that will be dealt later can be collectively called "the draw". [3] To discard some number of cards and have dealt an equal number of replacements.
- SMALL BLIND - In games with two blinds the first blind is the SMALL BLIND because it is usually one-half (or less) the second or large blind.
- CARDS SPEAK - Winner(s) of the hand are determined by turning their cards face up, the best hand(s) wins (no declaration).
- PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
- 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.
- OVERCALL - To call a bet after one or more players already called.
