Rules of Seven Card Stud Poker

The first two cards are dealt face down and the next four cards are dealt face up. A round of betting takes place after the dealing of each face-up card. The hand with the best cards showing goes first. The seventh, last card is dealt face down and is followed by the fifth, final betting round. Then the showdown commences. At the showdown, any active player may use any five cards of his dealt seven to make up his best possible Poker hand.
