Every round, each player will be dealt 2 cards that only they can see. Then, 5 cards are dealt to the middle of the table in 3 stages for everyone to see. In the first stage, 3 cards called the flop are revealed. The second stage, the turn reveals one more card. The final stage reveals the last card and is called the river. The player with the best hand, based on their cards as well as the ones in the middle, wins the round. Check the Texas Holdem hands guide in-game for a list of poker hand rankings.
