To begin, players must make a bet in the “Ante” box. The dealer will deal five cards to each player face down, and to himself five cards with one turned up. The players, after looking at their cards decide to play or fold. To play, a bet twice the Ante must be made in “Bet” box. After all players have made their decision, the dealer reveals his four remaining cards. Dealers hand must be an ace and a king or better to qualify.
