The five-card hand is ranked according to conventional poker rules.The high hand must be of higher poker value than the low hand. The player will separate his seven cards into a five-card high hand, and two-card low hand.

Some casinos have dropped this ridiculous rule, but most still cling to it. After the player makes a bet, the dealer will deal the player and himself seven cards each.

It may be used as an ace, or to complete a straight, flush, or straight flush, or royal flush.
