European Masters of Poker finals in Malta

After four days of intense competition, the final of the European Masters of Poker first series has drawn to an exciting close.

JOKER - A 53rd card in the deck, distinct from the others, used as a wild card or as a BUG.
INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
TOP PAIR - In flop games, having a hole card that matches the highest card on the board.
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. Unlike SHILLs "props" make a small hourly wage but play with their own money, winning or losing based on their skill.
TELL - Any personal mannerisms that reveal the quality of one's hand. E.g., constantly looking at one's hole cards is often a tell of a poor hand. (Some players, knowing this, will at times check their hole cards when they have a great hand and don't need to look.)
SIXTH STREET - The sixth card dealt in 7-card stud.
