Darfur Charity Poker Tournaments Continue
At the last two World Series of Poker events a special tournament has been held to raise money for the problems in Darfur, Africa, and yet another tournament is going to be held soon. This time the host is not the WSOP but the San Manuel Indian Bingo and Casino, which is joining forces with the celebrity backed charity organization Not On Our Watch, founded by stars Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Jerry Weintraub, Matt Damon, and Don Cheadle, who is the most vocal in supporting Darfur. Annie Duke is also an instrumental part of the tournaments for Darfur.

Poker lingo:
- RERAISE - To raise after an opponent has raised.
- TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
- STRAIGHT FLUSH - A hand consisting of 5 cards in sequence and the same suit.
- SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
- POCKET PAIR - Generic Hold'em term for 2 hole cards of the same rank.
- FULL OF - Describes a full house. "Fives full of queens" is 5-5-5-Q-Q.
