Then each player is dealt two facedown cards, these are his pocket or hole cards, and the action begins, with the first player to the left of the dealer. The action in most poker games proceeds clockwise. The pre-flop is the first betting round and when it is over, the dealer discards three face-up community cards. After that, the flop (second betting round) starts, now players can use both their pocket cards and the three community cards to form a poker hand. When the flop ends, another community card is dealt, followed by the turn (the third betting round). Finally, the fifth community card is discarded and the river (fourth betting round) comes. When the river finishes, all the players at the showdown reveal their cards and determine the winner, this is the player who holds the best five-card combination.
