Following this, players can utilize the sixth card to form a 5card poker hand.
A further round of wagering happens, and in a good many types of games, here is where the bet amount doubles. There is another round of burning a card, and a final placing of a card face-up on the poker table. This is called the "river". Bettors can now make use of any of the five cards on the board, or the 2 cards in their pocket, to assemble a five-card poker hand.
To wrap it up there is a further sequence of wagering. After that, all the players remaining start to show their hands. This is referred to as the "showdown". Obviously, the bettor who shows the strongest hand is the winner. When players have equal hands a sharing of the pot is used.
