Irish Open 2010 Schedule Announced

December 18 - A full timetable of events for the Irish Open 2010 has been posted by Paddy Power Poker and players can register already.

ASSAULT RIFLE - In Omaha, hole cards that are A-K-4-7 of any suit(s).
OVERPAIR - In Hold'em, a pair in the hole that is larger than any community card on the board.
FLUSH - A poker hand consisting of five cards all one suit.
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.
NUT / NUTS - The best possible hand of a given class. Not a LOCK unless all cards have been dealt. The "nut flush" is the highest possible flush, but might still lose to, e.g., a full house. Usually used in Hold'em games.
RAIL - A barrier dividing the card playing area from a public area.
