Rules of playing Texas Hold'em Poker - Part 4
14. At the end of all the betting, the dealer burns another card and flips one more card which is called the 'turn' card onto the table. Any of the players may now use this sixth card to help form their five card poker hand.
15. Now, the player on the left of the dealer begins another round of betting.
16. Finally the dealer burns yet another card and places a final card face up on the table. This is known as the 'river' card and players may now use any of the five cards on the table or the two pocket cards to form their five card poker hand.
17. There now follows one more final round of betting which against starts with the player seated on the left of the dealer.
18. After this final round of betting, all of the remaining players in the game reveal their hands of cards beginning with the player to the left of the last player to call and this is called the 'showdown'
19. Should the occasion arise when two or more players have the same hand of cards then the next highest card in the player's hand is used to break the tie. This is called the 'kicker'
20. Should it occur that there is no kicker card and the tied players have used both pocket cards or have identical hands of cards, then the pot must be split between them.
21. The position of the dealer then moves clockwise to the next player so that another round of Texas Hold'em poker play may begin.
