Once all bets have been placed each player is dealt two cards are placed on the table, face up. There are then three possibilities:
¦If the two cards are in consecutive order (i.e. 6-7, Queen-King) then the player takes his wager back and the hand is considered a push.
¦If the cards dealt are of equal value (i.e. two 6s, two Kings) then a third card is dealt out. If this card is also of the same value, creating a hand of three-of-a-kind, then the player is paid 11:1 odds. If the third card is not of the same value then the hand is considered a push and the player takes his wager back.
¦If the above options do not apply then a spread is announced. The spread is the number of cards that are between the two cards dealt. For instance, if a 2 and a 7 are dealt it is a 4-card spread because there are four cards between these cards (3, 4, 5 and 6). Players then have the option to double their initial bet and a third card is dealt. If the third card is between the other two then the player wins and is paid out according to the size of the spread
