Stairway to Seven

Stairway to Seven is a variation of Omaha.

As in traditional Omaha, Stairway to Seven starts each player with four hole cards. However, after each round of new community card(s), players will receive an additional hole card. Players still in the hand at the river will have a total of seven hole cards and five community cards from which to make their best five-card hand.

Remember! Because this is Omaha, you will still only be able to use exactly two cards from your hand and three from the board for your final hand!

How it’s Dealt:
• At the start of each hand, players are dealt four hole cards followed by a round of betting.
• Immediately after the Flop is dealt, players still active in the hand receive a fifth hole card followed by a round of betting.
• After the Turn is dealt, remaining players then receive a sixth card followed by a round of betting.
• After the River is dealt, remaining players will be dealt the seventh and final hole card followed by a final round of betting.

Determining the Winner:
At showdown, players must use exactly two of their seven hole cards and three of the five community cards to make the best five-card poker hand.
