In the end, gamblers can use any possible combination of seven playing cards (2 hole cards and 5 community cards) to create the greatest poker hand they can. There are going to be an ending round of wagers being placed, then all gamblers who still remain playing expose their poker hands. The poker player who had the very best hand will win the money in the pot.
