From the remainder of the deck each player is dealt two face down cards. After viewing the two face down cards, each player may act upon his or her hand. The player may be given the option to fold and receive a portion of the original wager back. Alternatively, the player may remain in the game leaving the original wager unchanged. As a further alternative, the player may be given the option to increase the wager up to a determined amount. After making a decision, one or more common cards are dealt face up. The common cards are common to each of the players hands and to the dealers hand. The dealer is then dealt one card face up to complete the deal.
