The Showdown

Once all players have finished betting and there are at least two players left in the game, it is time for each player to reveal their hand. This is referred to as a "Showdown".

The game reveals each player's hand, one at a time. This is done by turning over the two face-down cards, and then showing the best 5-card hand that can be made out of the seven cards available to the player (the two face-down cards, and the five community cards). You don't need to do anything to select the best hand, the game will do it automatically for you.

The game will then show a description of the hand, so everybody knows exactly what hand that player has. See the Hand Rankings section for more information about possible hands.

Once all player's hands are revealed, the player with the best hand receives all the chips in the pot. Then we get ready to start another game...
