Poker jargon:

SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
KICKER - In hands containing pairs and trips, the highest card not matched. In draw games, sometimes a card kept for deception purposes.
WHEEL - A-2-3-4-5. Usually discussed in the context of lowball where it is the best possible hand. Can also refer to a 5-high straight in high games. Also: BICYCLE.
BAD-BEAT JACKPOT - In some cardrooms, a prize that is shared by the players in a game, when a very good hand (usually Aces full, or better) is beaten by a higher hand. Jackpots are usually financed by taking a drop ($1 is a common amount) from every pot. A typical division of the jackpot will give the losing hand 50 %, the winning hand 25 %, and the other players at the table share the remaining 25 % of the Jackpot.
RING GAME - A standard game where players can come and go as they choose. The opposite of TOURNAMENT.
