Charity Poker Game Raided By Police

State police raid a charity poker game in Buxton — leaving those who organzied the event upset.

ROYAL FLUSH - An ace-high straight flush, the best possible hand in regular poker.
RACE - In tournaments it is sometimes convenient to remove all lower-denomination chips from play, as the remaining players' stacks tend to grow. Small chips are converted to larger chips and any odd chips are "raced off" in the following way: each player with odd chips places them in front of his stack and is dealt one card for each chip. Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
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.
WALK - A pot won by the last blind when no one opens.
LIVE ONE - The best kind of opponent, a poor player with a lot of money to lose and in a hurry to lose it.
FAVORITE - Before all the cards are dealt, a hand that figures to be the winner. Ant: UNDERDOG.
