Poker world series chip leader Amir Lehavot preps for Day 3

LAS VEGAS - The chip leader at the World Series of Poker main event says his lead means little as players take a break from the felt on Thursday.

EVEN-MONEY - A bet that pays off exactly the amount wagered. E.g., "Double or nothing" is an even-money bet.
CHASE - To continue in a hand, often at poor odds, in the hopes of catching a much better hand. "He called, chasing the flush.".
PROP - Also PROPOSITION PLAYER. An employee of the gaming establishment whose primary purpose is to keep enough players at a table to prevent breaking up the game for lack of players.
