Highest card (rank and suit) takes all the small chips and converts them to higher-denomination chips.
  • IN - Still eligible to win the pot. "I'm in" is often spoken as one adds chips to the pot, calling.

  • FREEROLL - [1] A poker tournament that does not charge a buy-in fee; players must earn buy-in credits through previous play at the same establishment. [2] Having a lock on part of a pot (sure to win a greater fraction of the pot than one is betting) and playing to win more or all of it.
