PokerStars EPT Vilamoura Day 5: Toby Lewis Completes the British Conquest

The PokerStars European Poker Tour Vilamoura has come to an end. Read on to find out how Toby Lewis battled the final table to take home the title.

RAGS - Board cards that are small, not suited and not in sequence, e.g., 9-5-2. When "rags flop", it is unlikely that anyone has a good hand, except possibly the big blind in an unraised pot.
FIRE - To make the first bet in a betting round. Used to emphasize that the player bet when a check was possible, showing strength.
OPENER - The player who opens the betting, especially in draw poker. A hand may have no openers, in which case it is PASSED OUT, i.e., new hands are dealt.
SPLIT [THE POT] - To split the pot between two or more players. Related term: QUARTER.
OPENERS - Cards in a hand that qualify a player to open the betting.
TABLE STAKES - A standard rule whereby during a hand players can only bet the money they have on the table. If the bet to a player is more than the player's stack, that player may call with all his chips and be eligible to win only that portion of the pot he contributed to equally. A side pot is created, for which only the remaining players may compete.
