Need To Brush Up On Seven Card Stud? PokerNews Has You Covered

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

While most of our readers are familiar with the big-bet games in poker like No-Limit Hold'em and Pot-Limit Omaha, today's Event 10: $5,000 Seven Card Stud will be played in a limit format and one some people may not be acquainted with.

Seven Card Stud is the most popular version of stud poker and generally played anywhere between two and eight players at a time and the one that's featured in today's 5:00 PM event, an event won by Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier last year.

If a player stays in until the end of a hand, he or she will receive a total of seven cards. To start, each player is dealt two cards face down followed by a third card face up. Each player would then receive three more cards face up followed by the seventh and final card face down. There is a betting round after each street and often an ante before anyone receives any cards.
