After the flop, there are several a lot more rounds of betting, till the croupier has burned five cards, then unveiled five cards to all the players. These rounds are typically known as Fourth Street and Fifth Street.

In the end, players can use any possible combination of seven playing cards (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) to create the greatest poker hand they can. There will probably be a final round of wagers being positioned, then all gamblers who still remain betting expose their poker hands. The poker player who had the very best hand will capture the money in the pot.
