Poker Texas Hold'em

 

 

Target

A 2 player game that follows the classic Poker Texas Hold'em rules. The goal of the game is to win all your opponent's chips over several rounds (the pot). The winner is the player with the best 5 card combination from all 7 available cards which are comprised of community cards (face-up on the table) and hole cards (held in the player's hands).
When the cards are dealt every player gets two hole cards. After the first obligatory bet, 3 community cards are shown simultaneously (the flop). After the flop there is another round of betting and the dealing of a fourth community card (the turn). A further round of betting precedes the dealing of a fifth and final community card (the river).
