Remember that in Seven Card Stud Hi/Lo, there is an ‘eight or better’ requirement to win the low, so a player must have an unpaired five-card hand that consists of all cards less than or equal to an 8. In the event that no hand qualifies for low, the best hand for high wins the entire pot. The player with the best five-card hand for the high (‘Hi’) wins half the pot, and the player with the best hand for low (’Lo’) wins the other half of the pot. Further hands involved in the Showdown are exposed clockwise around the table.
If there was no bet on the final round, the player in the earliest seat shows his or her cards first (Seat 1, then Seat 2, and so on). If there is more than one remaining player when the final betting round is complete the last bettor or raiser shows his or her cards first.
