Atlantic City Poker Events Paying Big

During the World Series of Poker Circuit events in the “Las Vegas of the East Coast”, Atlantic City, players from around the country showed up to play in hopes of striking it rich. During the second event of the series, which will end with a championship event where the winner will secure – in addition to a large cash prize – a seat in the 2008 WSOP main event, two finalists fought round over round for the victory. With a two to one chip lead by Jake Neff over Ryan Osborne, the latter emerged the champ with a $72,500 payday.

Poker glossary:

  • BOARD - The exposed cards in Hold'em and stud. Also BOARD CARDS.
  • PAT HAND - In draw poker, a hand that does not need any more cards. Specifically, a straight, flush, full house or straight flush. One might bluff and represent a pat hand but actually hold something else.
  • SCOOP - To take all of a pot that is normally split, either by winning both halves outright or winning one half when no players qualify for the other half.
  • GUT SHOT - A draw to an inside straight, as in 2-3-4-6.
  • DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
  • 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.
