Abstract
A poker-type game capable in which participants compete against a dealer in hands whose number of cards progressively increase. Play begins with two cards dealt to a dealer and two cards dealt to each player. Whoever has a superior two-card hand must place a wager into a transitional wagering area. At least three community cards are dealt creating first a three-card, then a four-card and ultimately a five-card poker hand. At each stage, whoever between the dealer and each at least one player has the inferior hand must place a wager equal to the ante wager into that player's transitional wagering area. Whoever has the best five-card poker hand collects all wagers placed in the transitional wagering area.
