Five Card Draw Details

In five card draw, after each player receives his five cards, there is a betting interval, followed by a period where each player may turn in between one and three cards to the dealer for the same number of new cards. This is done in the same clockwise fashion in which the hands were dealt. Another betting interval follows, concluded by a showdown for determination of the winner. The winner is determined by having each player turn over their cards and optionally announcing what his hand is. The pot then goes to the best hand, a new dealer is selected, a new ante put forth, and the next hand begins.
