Half-Hacked

Poker Glossary

When in Hold 'Em poker, during a showdown or after a bluff, the winning player shows only one card to the opposing player and mucks the other. A perfect example of this was during the Tournament of Champions when Annie Duke had a 2-pair (Kings and Nines) and Phil Hellmuth had top Pair (Kings). After a series of bets, Annie decided to re-raise Phil, after much deliberation, Phil folded. Annie then showed just the nine and mucked the King, therefore making phil believe he folded the winning hand.
