Smoke Clears at Pacific Poker Shootout
For his greatest victory in the last fifteen years as a poker player Victoria, B.C.’s Dean Jackson took down a field of over 140 players to secure the crown of the $1,100 No Limit Texas Holdem Main Event of the Pacific Poker Shootout. Held at the Cascades Casino last weekend, the Pacific Poker Shootout paid out more than $40k to the winner out of a prize pool of more than $300k. A shootout is different than most No Limit Texas Holdem tournaments in that each player has to win the table they are sitting at before they move on to a new table.

Poker lexicon:
- RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
- TAPPED [OUT] - Out of money. Can refer to a player running out of money in the course of a hand, thus still active for the main pot; or can refer to a player who has lost his bankroll and can no longer play.
- FREEZE-OUT - A table-stakes game that continues until a small number of players (possibly only one) has all the money. The major event in The World Series of Poker is a freeze-out game.
- DOYLE BRUNSON - In Hold'em, 10-2 in the hole. So named because Doyle Brunson won two straight WSOPs (q.v.) in 1975 and 1976 with 10-2 on the last hand. (Suited (spades) in 1975, unsuited in 1976).
- REBUY - [1] To purchase additional chips after an initial buy-in, usually after losing most or all of the previous buy-in. This term is most often used in certain tournaments where if one loses all one's chips, or falls below a certain minimum chip level, for an additional sum of money one can purchase a fixed amount of additional tournament chips. Usually there is a time limit (The "REBUY PERIOD") as to how long rebuys are allowed. [2] The additional chips "rebought" in tournament play.
- SPREAD LIMIT - A variation on fixed limit wherein the minimum and maximum bets are different. A 1-4-8 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds and 1-8 in the last round. A 1-4-8-16 game allows bets from 1 to 4 in the early rounds, 1 to 8 in the next-to-last round, and 1 to 16 in the last round.
