In this game, each player is dealt four private cards (hole cards) and must use exactly two of them in combination with three of the five community cards. The pot is divided between the player with the best high hand and the player with the best low hand, provided that the low hand qualifies (a five-card hand with all cards ranked 8 or lower). If no low hand qualifies, the high hand takes the entire pot.
