The customer weights the deal and takes one of two decisions: fold the cards and lose ante or call in amount of two Anter and continue playing. In the first case the player leaves the deal, but in the second case two more community cards are dealt and final combinations are formed. Than the cards are compared.
You can have few options at this stage:
- The dealer has no draw (a pair of fours or higher) - Ante is paid by the pay table and Bet goes back to the player.
- The dealer has a draw, but his combination is lower than the player's - Ante is paid by the payment table and bet - 1:1.
- The dealer has a draw and his combination is higher than the player’s - the customer loses both bets.
