English term or phrase: pocket cards, hole cards

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_poker_terms#hole

the two cards that you receive face down, and only you can peek at. This is in contrast to the community cards that everyone sees and everyone shares.

I know that German poker players also use the English loan term "Pocket Cards", but I'm wondering if there's ever a German term used for these.
