WSOP Tops Last Year

While it isn’t technically a record setting year in terms of main event attendance, this year’s World Series of Poker is still doing better than last year. In 2006, the record was set with over 8,700 players paying $10,000 to play in the main event, but last year that number dropped by quite a bit.

Poker lingo:

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.)
ROLLED UP - In seven-card stud, being dealt three of a kind in the first three cards.
OMAHA - A variant of Hold'em where each player receives 4 hole cards and must use exactly two of them (together with 3 of 5 board cards) to make a hand. Often played high-low split with an 8 qualifier for low.
TIGHT - [1] A style of play that entails playing fewer hands than average. Antonym: LOOSE. [2] A FULL HOUSE.
DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
SHORT-STACKED - Playing with a only a small amount of money, thus limiting one's risk and reward.
