betting occurs.

face down in the middle of the table, arranged in an "X" shape.

reducing their hand to four cards.

the "X." A second round of betting follows.
5. Second Discard: Each player must discard another card, reducing
their hand to three cards.
6. Third Betting Round: The dealer turns over the four inner cards of
the "X" (the cards between the outer ones and the center). A third
round of betting follows.
7. Third Discard: Each player must discard one final card, leaving them
with just two hole cards.
8. Final Betting Round: The dealer turns over the center card of the
"X." The final round of betting takes place.
