- Once the first round of betting has completed, each player is dealt a fourth card face up.
- The second round of betting starts with the player that has the best visible hand. If two players have the same best hand, the suit will decide who starts the betting. The starting player has the option to check or bet the small bet; $5 in $5-$10 game. If a player has an open pair he has the option to place the higher bet in the structure; $10 in a $5-$10 game.
