Hunt
Verb
To ask to see the next card or the remaining community cards when a hand ends before all cards are dealt.

Verb
To aggressively attempt to knock out opponents in a tournament.
EXAMPLE: "Tournaments tend to slow down a bit at just the point between placing in the money and placing out of the money. People are playing more conservatively in hopes someone else will bust out before them. It can feel really slow unless there is a big stack at the table with enough chips not to worry. Having someone with the chip stack to be able to confidently hunt really speeds up the game."
