If a mechanical shuffling device which dispenses cards in three-card groups is being used, the first player to receive cards is the player to the left of the dealer; the dealer receives cards last. The dealer plays the top two cards of the group dealt to the dealer. The bottom card of the three-card group is not played and is placed in the discard rack without being viewed.

Each player now has a complete five-card hand, using the three cards the player was dealt together with the two community cards;(7) After the second community card has been turned face up, the dealer, beginning with the player to the dealer's right, turns each player's three cards face up.
