WSOP Europe on TV in April
The first ever WSOP event to take place outside the US is going to hit the airwaves this April, giving poker fans the chance to see for themselves how the first woman, and the youngest player ever, won a championship event at the World Series of Poker Europe. The WSOP Europe event was held in September of 2007 and the winner was Annette Obrestad, who was at the time 18 years old. Sky Sports subscribers will be able to see the event spread out over eight episodes on both Channel 3 and Channel 2.

Poker slang:
- LOOSE - Playing more hands than the norm. Antonym: TIGHT.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- BET FOR VALUE - Betting a hand that, in the long run, is expected to win more than it loses. Antonym: BLUFF.
- BUNNY - An eight. So named because one can easily draw "rabbit ears" above the numeral 8, "paws" in the middle and "feet" at the bottom. (Do this only at home, and not on cards that will be used for play.)
- SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
- FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
