After the second betting round, the dealer burns another card, and then turns the next card face up on the table. This fourth community card is called the turn. A third round of betting among the remaining players follows, only this time you can bet from $ 1 to $8 in the $ l-$4-$8-$8 game or the higher amount in the structured game. For example, in a $3-$6 game you must now bet or raise in $6 increments.

The River
After the action is completed on the turn, the dealer again burns the top card. He now turns a fifth, and final, card face up on the board. There is a final round of betting, called the river, which follows the same betting guidelines as the turn.

The Showdown
When all the action is completed, there is a showdown. All the active players who want to claim the pot turn their hands face up. Using his pocket cards and the five cards on the board, each player (with the dealer) determines his best poker hand. The highest hand at the table wins.

The dealer button then moves one player to the left, marking the new dealer's position. The blinds are posted by the next two players, and the game begins all over again.
