WSOP PPA Booth
The World Series of Poker was the first major institution to support poker players so it makes sense that attendees will find a booth announcing the benefits of membership in the Poker Players Alliance. The PPA is a grassroots organization dedicated to protecting poker players’ rights across the US, with the motto “If you play, have a say,” referring to participation in poker politics. The booth is right outside the doors of the poker room at the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino, where thousands of poker players will see it over the next month and a half.

Casino poker language:
- TOURNAMENT - A highly structured game involving potentially dozens of tables where all participants pay an entry fee and obtain a fixed number of chips. Once a tournament has started, additional players may not enter. As the game progresses players bust out and are eliminated until only one winner remains.
- CRYING CALL - A call made with little chance of ultimately winning, but marginally better than an immediate fold.
- BLANK - Used in describing stud and Hold'em games. Refers to a dealt card that does not offer any value; stating the actual rank and suit would detract from a description of the hand. "The last card was a blank.".
- SEVENTH STREET - The seventh card dealt in 7-card stud.
- BIG BLIND - A blind bet, usually a raise of an earlier blind which would be called the SMALL BLIND. In limit poker, the BIG BLIND is usually the size of the minimum bet on the first round of betting.
- FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
