Chris Moneymaker Makes Poker Fan Dream a Reality

When 24 year old Donald Hobbs got to the Amazon poker room at the Rio this year, it was in a wheelchair - but don’t feel bad for this survivor of a horrible car accident, his doctors are calling his progress miraculous. One reason Hobbs was motivated to recover from shattered legs and burns covering 70% of his body - a visit paid to him in 2007 by Chris Moneymaker, 2003 WSOP champion, who told him if he got better he would be a guest of Moneymaker’s at the 2008 WSOP. Not only was Hobbs a guest but Moneymaker paid his entry fee, allowing the poker fan to play in the biggest poker game in the world.

Poker talk:

REPRESENT - Implying, by one's betting style, that one has a particular hand.
SET - In Hold'em, three of a kind where two of the cards are hole cards.
RIVER - The last card dealt in a hand of stud or Hold'em.
CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
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.
DOOR [CARD] - A player's first upcard in stud games.
