10.Once the final round of betting is finished, all remaining players automatically reveal their cards. A combination of your hole and the community cards forms your hand. The player with the best hand wins the pot.

At each stage of betting you can decide whether you wish to remain in the game. Should you decide to stay in the game, the amount of gold needed to remain in the game will be automatically allocated.
