Poker Pro’s Good Works Come to Fruition
Diminutive poker pro Jennifer Harman has once again put her love for animals on the table with her second charity poker tournament to benefit the Nevada Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. The event, which last year raised around $130,000 for the organization, drew other poker professionals such as Chip and Karina Jett, Chau Giang, Matt Savage and the Father of Poker himself, Doyle Brunson. They were on hand recently to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony for two new wings for the Nevada SPCA, both made possible due to the tireless efforts of animal lover Jennifer Harman.

Poker talk:
- WORLD SERIES OF POKER - A series of several different poker games with relatively large buy-ins, culminating in a $10,000 buy-in no-limit Hold'em tournament, the winner of which is crowned the World Poker Champion. Sponsored by Binion's Horseshoe Club in Las Vegas.
- 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.
- FLAT LIMIT - A variant of fixed limit where all bets are the same amount.
- FAMILY POT - A pot where all of the players at the table are participating, even after each has had an opportunity to act.
- BURN - To discard the top card of the deck prior to dealing, usually done for every dealing round except the first. The theory being that if somehow the cards are marked (illegally) no one will know what card will next be dealt, only what card will be burned. This makes marked cards less of an advantage, hence tends to reduce cheating.
- 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.
