Charity Poker Benefits Susan G. Komen

The Susan G. Komen foundation recently benefited from a poker game. A Wichita gathering of poker players pulled together $90k for the charity. The Susan G. Komen for the Cure raised $90,000 with a weekend poker tournament in Wichita. The charity is often involved in poker tournaments to raise money for cancer research, and this one in particular was attended by more than 1,000 people at the Hyatt Regency Wichita. The players were there to raise money to support the charity by also to compete for prizes such as a trip to Las Vegas.

Useful poker information:

BICYCLE - The best possible low hand: A-2-3-4-5. More common term: WHEEL.
SHOWDOWN - The point at the end of the hand where all active players reveal their cards and the pot is awarded to the winner(s).
COLD CALL - Calling both a bet and raise at the same time, as opposed to calling a bet then later calling a raise made after the call.
DECLARE - In high/low games, declaring one's hand as high or low or both ways (usually done with chips in hand). Usually played in home games; casinos tend to play CARDS SPEAK.
WIRED [PAIR] - A pair in the hole. In 5-card stud, a door card that pairs the hole card.
INSIDE STRAIGHT - Four cards to a straight, where only one rank will complete the hand. E.g., 4-5-6-8 is an inside straight since only a 7 will fill (i.e., complete) the hand. Often called a GUT-SHOT. Compare: BOBTAIL STRAIGHT, OPEN-ENDED STRAIGHT.
