Poker is a card game played between a group of players, usually at a circular or oval table. The game involves dealing out cards from a standard 52-card deck. In some variants, jokers are also included. In most games, poker uses a one-pack rule; however, some players use two packs of contrasting colors. During the deal, one pack is dealt, while the other is shuffled. Players receive cards from the dealt pack, and the highest card is the first dealer. Once the dealer has dealt all the cards, the other pack is passed to the next dealer.

Poker is an international game that has evolved over the years. The game is played in almost every country. Its origins date back to the 17th century, when German settlers played a game similar to poker called pochen. This game eventually developed into a more complex form, known as poque, and was brought to North America by French settlers.

When the betting round is finished, a hand is revealed. Two players have a pair of kings, while the other two have a pair of aces. The highest hand is a three-of-a-kind. Dennis raised earlier, but did not get a straight off the deal.
