Europe vs. Americas at WSOP-Europe Caesars Cup Event

All-star lineups of professional poker players from Europe and the Americas will do battle in a special event at this September’s World Series…

SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
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.
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.
DOUBLE BELLY BUSTER - A two-way inside straight. E.g., 3-5-6-7-9.
LATE BLIND - In addition to "regular" blinds, some games allow a player (particularly a new one) to post a blind bet in return for the right to enter the game immediately and act last on the first betting round. The amount of the blind is determined by house rules, usually somewhere between the last blind and double the last blind. It is frequently a LIVE BLIND.
CALLER - One who calls. Sometimes used collectively, as in "3 callers".
