K OF C BURN’N'TURN POKER TOURNAMENT

The Zanesville chapter of the Knight of Columbus is conducting a Burn’n'Turn poker tournament on Saturday, Jan. 23, at the K of C Hall.

QUARTER - [1] Twenty-five dollars, often symbolized by a green casino chip. [2] To divide half a pot between two tying hands. In split pot games, a player who "ties" another player for their half of the pot is said to be "quartered". One might say "I didn't bet my A-2 because I figured I'd get quartered".
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.
FISH - A player who loses money. An old saying is "If you can't spot the fish at the table, *you* are the fish.".
POSITION - One's location in the betting sequence, relative to the players still in the hand. First position is first to act.
ONE-EYED - The jack of hearts, jack of spades or king of diamonds. So named because the characters are drawn in profile, thus showing only one eye.
MITES AND LICE - A hand consisting of two pair, threes over twos.
