Seventh Street

Seventh street is the last round of betting in seven-card stud and stud eight-or-better. Each player gets the seventh card face down, and then there is a round of betting and a showdown.

The simple explanation

After sixth street, players get one more card, face down. It is the seventh street. After the last betting round, the players who remain show their cards.

A closer look

On seventh street, players have all seven cards, but they see only part of the hand of the others. It is the stage for the final value bets and bluffs. Because the bets are large, decisions are hard: you must guess what the opponent's hidden card is. The word 'river' is sometimes used for it.

A practical example

A stud player gets his seventh card face down and has a flush on seventh street.
