Top Ten Poker Stories of 2010: #7, Smith, Laak, and Hansen Win Bracelets

The #7 poker story of the year, has to be Smith, Hansen, and Laak winning gold, shortening the list of pros without a bracelet.

FOURTH STREET - In stud poker, the fourth card dealt to each player. Sometimes used to refer to the fourth community card dealt in Hold'em, although the more common term for this is TURN (q.v.).
SIDE POT - When an active player runs out of money during the course of a hand, the remaining players participate in a second or SIDE POT for the rest of the hand. Additional side pots are possible if several players run out of money at different points in a hand.
MILES OF BAD ROAD - Three of a kind. Prefixed with a number, 3*<N>, to indicate 3 <N>s. Thus "24 miles of bad road" is 3 eights, etc. (This obviously doesn't work for face cards.)
FOUR OF A KIND - A hand containing all four cards of the same rank.
PASSED OUT. - A hand in which nobody opens. What happens next is a function of the game being played.
POCKET ROCKETS - In Hold'em, a pair of aces for hole cards.
